I am working on a Django project. I am working on the register page. When I try to import my register/views.py to my mysite/urls.py file I get an error message. ModuleNotFoundError: No Module named 'register'. Both files are are in the same directory.
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from register import views as v
Adding full exception message
Try the following:-
from . import views
Please add a blank __init__.py file in the register folder.
Only then python will understand that register is an importable package
Edit:
After seeing the exception, it looks like a working directory issue in pycharms. Please try the fix mentioned in this link

File "C:\Users\user\app-rest\app\app\urls.py", line 4, in <module>
from app.myapp.views import UserViewSet
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'app.myapp'
Not sure what the issue is but when I comment out the import and the related views on my URL page, it works. Could it be from the folder being app\app\url being the same name twice? if it is how can I change that without screwing up the rest of my code?
settings are set up right because it usually works.
Thank everyone in advance.
This looks like a good use case for a relative import, if you are accessing the view from within the same django app, then replace the import statement with
from .views import UserViewSet

I ran into the following ModuleNotFoundError error.
File "C:\django-project\CodingWithMitchBlog\demoproject\Blog\api\urls.py", line 3, in <module>
from demoproject.Blog.api.views import api_detail_BlogPost_view
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'demoproject.Blog'
'Blog' is my appname.
This is my project structure.
This might be due to incorrect import statements used in the files. If the import statements has the projectname prefixed try removing it and run again.
For example change:
from demoproject.Blog.models import ModelClass
to
from Blog.models import ModelClass
in the urls.py file
I have 2 Apps in myproject. When I try to import App1 views from App2 views, I get ImportError: No module named App1.views. for e.g (from myproject.App1.views import *). And I added both apps under INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py
In Django 1.5, you need to omit the project name from the imports. The release notes of Django 1.4 explains this change in the applicatiion structure and import paths. So the correct import statement is:
from App1.views import *
I have a Django model with some static methods. I'd like to call the methods from outside the application (cronjob).
The model I have:
class Job(models.Job):
#Irrelevant information
#staticmethod
def methodIwantToCall():
#statements
I have the following python file that I'm using for the cron job:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import os
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'
from myapp.models import Job
Job.methodIwantToCall()
At first, I was having an error about DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE not being set and I fixed that, however, now I have the following error: No module named myapp.utils
I feel like I'm doing something that I'm not supposed to do. So how do I call that static method the way I want it to be called?
EDIT: It looks like the paths are getting messed up when I'm importing from outside Django. For example, I have an import in my models file, when I call the cron file it fails importing with the message ImportError: No module named myapp.utils even though it's working.
The proper solution is to create custom manage.py command.
Assuming your cron job code resides in the same directory as your settings file, use the following setup code at the beginning:
from django.core.management import setup_environ
import settings
setup_environ(settings)
I had a small proof of concept set up on a development server on a local machine. I'm now trying to move it over to django on a production server, which I'm using webfaction for. However, now that I'm switched over to apache from the built in django server I get the following:
ViewDoesNotExist: Could not import orgDisplay.views. Error was: No module named orgDisplay.views
But when check my orgDisplay apps folder there is a view.py in it. What am I doing wrong? I've tried adding the following to my settings.py by suggestion of the django IRC room.
import sys
sys.path.append(r"/home/user/webapps/django_project/myproject/orgDisplay")
which is the path to my app.
any ideas on how to even begin to trouble shoot this?
Thanks in advance.
I assume you're using mod_wsgi (which is recommended by Django authors), not mod_python. This is the way you should use your sys.path:
django.wsgi:
import os, sys
sys.path.append(r"/home/user/webapps/django_project/myproject/")
os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "settings"
sys.stdout = sys.stderr # Prevent crashes upon print
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
urls.py:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
urlpatterns = (
("", include("orgDisplay.urls")),
# ...
)
orgDisplay/urls.py:
import views
urlpatterns = (
(r'^some_view/$', views.some_view), # It is actually orgDisplay.views.some_view
# many more records ...
)
It is a bad idea to add project dir itself to path since you're be getting name conflicts between multiple projects.
I think you're appending the wrong directory to sys.path. I think Python is looking in the .../myproject/orgDisplay folder for the orgDisplay package. Try removing the orgDisplay from your string, like this:
import sys
sys.path.append(r"/home/user/webapps/django_project/myproject")
The other option would be to simply add myproject (or whatever your project is actually called) in the import statement.
# instead of "from orgDisplay import views"
from myproject.orgDisplay import views
Also, make sure to restart Apache after every edit.
looking at manage.py, it does it like so:
import sys
from os.path import abspath, dirname, join
from django.core.management import setup_environ
# setup the environment before we start accessing things in the settings.
setup_environ(settings_mod)
sys.path.insert(0, join(PINAX_ROOT, "apps"))
sys.path.insert(0, join(PROJECT_ROOT, "apps"))
Provided your WSGI file is in your project directory, a slightly more flexible way is this:
import os, sys
sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(__file__))
This will enable you to change your project location later without having to modify your WSGI file.
