Django 1.11: ImportError: cannot import name [view] - django

Question

I'm trying to add ChartsJS as an extra view in my Django App but I keep getting an Import Error. I have no idea why. I don't have any circular dependencies as far as I can find. Similar StackOverflow questions don't seem to match the problem. I'm totally stuck.
The problematic view is Analytics view.
project/app/urls.py:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import (
absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals
)
from django.conf.urls import url
from future import standard_library
from survey.views import ConfirmView, IndexView, SurveyCompleted, SurveyDetail, AnalyticsView
from survey.views.survey_result import serve_result_csv
standard_library.install_aliases()
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', IndexView.as_view(), name='survey-list'),
url(r'^(?P<id>\d+)/', SurveyDetail.as_view(), name='survey-detail'),
url(r'^csv/(?P<pk>\d+)/', serve_result_csv, name='survey-result'),
url(r'^(?P<id>\d+)/completed/', SurveyCompleted.as_view(),
name='survey-completed'),
url(r'^(?P<id>\d+)-(?P<step>\d+)/', SurveyDetail.as_view(),
name='survey-detail-step'),
url(r'^confirm/(?P<uuid>\w+)/', ConfirmView.as_view(),
name='survey-confirmation'),
url(r'^analytics/$', AnalyticsView.as_view(),
name='analytics-view'),
]
project/app/views/analytics_view.py:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import (
absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals
)
from builtins import super
from future import standard_library
from django.views.generic.base import TemplateView
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
standard_library.install_aliases()
import arrow
class AnalyticsView(TemplateView):
template_name = "survey/analytics.html"
...
I've read it may be to do with Settings, but I can't see any configuration problems there -
project/settings.py:
ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
STATIC_URL = '/bootstrap_admin/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.normpath(os.path.join(ROOT, '..', "survey", "static")),
]

ImportError: cannot import name AnalyticsView
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

The code you posted shows that your AnalyticsView is in its own file; you need to import that file.
from survey.views.analytics_view import AnalyticsView
