i use vscode on windows10. I just created a Django project+app like this:
In the vscode powershell terminal:
python -m venv venv #createing a virtual environment called venv
.\scripts\activate #activate the virtual environment
pip install django==2.1.1 #install the newest version of Django
python -m pip install --upgrade pip #upgrading pip
pip install requests #install requests for api-requests
django-admin startproject api_order . #creates a django project called api_order
python manage.py migrate #create database
python manage.py runserver #starting the server
because of the server running in my powershell terminal i take a second powershell terminal and continue with activating the venv and creating a app.
.\scripts\activate
python manage.py startapp api_order_app #creating a app called api_order_app
When i now open the models.py python is reporting an problem "E0401:Unable to import 'django.db'" Same for all other imports in every other script.
What did go wrong?
I did this twice always the same problem.
This is how it looks like in the IDE

Thanks in Advance for helping me out.

I figured it out... I wasnt on the right virtualenvironment. But Django was only installed at the venv.
In Visual Studio Code you can choose the environment u want to use in the bottom left corner.
Now everything works just fine.
When I run the python manage.py startapp "app name" command in my Django project directory nothing happens... Every other manage.py command works without problem.
What could be the problem?
Thanks a lot!!

The first line in manage.py breaks the file on windows. The first line should look like this:
#!/usr/bin/env python
Removing it fixes the issue for me. Please try this is really helpful. Thanks
This problem occurs due to Python Path is not set, you can reinstall python and check the box that says "Add to Path 3.9"
Are you running the correct version of Python and correct version of Django?
To check Django:
python manage.py --version
Make sure you are running the right versions, if you are have Python 3 and Python 2 installed you may have multiple versions of Django.
Try to set environment variables on the command line? This path is if you were using vagrant.
PYTHONPATH=/vagrant/www DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings django-admin.py startapp
Then try manage.py does it work? Without setting envs on the command line?
Adding a virtual environment is necessary to get the above command working. In the virtual environment you can specifically install Django and it is done so as to ensure that no other package interfers with the Django framework. I was also facing the same issue but after creating a virtual environment, things became super easy!!!
I would recommend using pycharm as creating a virtual environment is just as easy as running a hello world program!!. Also paste the following code at the settings.py script at the end :
ALLOWED_HOSTS=['*']
Also specify the correct directory while running in the terminal. Be sure to check that the code should be written inside the project directory.
Hope that helps :)
I was facing a similar issue and saw this question. Tried the methods mentioned by some of the users but it did not work. Surprisingly the only thing I had to do was remove the word "python" from the command. All I typed in the command line was - manage.py startapp "appname"
I have no idea what difference does it make or how I made it work, but if anyone has a similar problem I hope your issue gets resolved.
I think it maybe because i had previously added the directory I am working in the PATH variable. Not sure. Someone has an opinion on this, do share.
I think i may have found the solution. If you're running on python 3.7 or above, try setting your directory to ~\YourProjectName\YourProjectName with the cd commmand then type py -m django startapp <appName>
The command
$ python-admin startapp main
returns the error " bash: python-admin: command not found".
I was able to resolve using the following command instead
$ py -m django startapp main
if some of you are following old tutorials on django then after you have python version 3.7 or above then the command "python manage.py startapp 'appname'" doesnt works.//well it didn't work for me so insted of that command you can use "py -m django startapp 'appname'"
it worked for me so you can also try that..
the command -> manage.py startapp 'appname'" works for python version upto 3.7 and for 3.7 and above version used command -> "py -m django startapp 'appname'" it works for me...
Im testing Python Tools For Visual Studio, I create a django project, make a SyncDB and install django admin with no problems, but now Im trying to make Data Base migration like: Django 1.7 Migrations. the point is that i cant figuer out how to do that. I serched in google and find this: How to run django database migrations with PTVS?. So the migration command is not wraped. I tried using Windows Command Prompt and install C:\Python34\;C:\Python34\Scripts; PATHS but when i type a django command like python manage.py runserver appears No module named 'django'. It seems that i am not pointing to my django project virtual env, but i dont know how to do that.
Execute command in my django app env path does not work neither.

Thanks a lot!
Before using of virtual env you should activate it. Execute env\activate or env\bin\activate. Not a windows guy so I'm not sure which path virtualenv uses on Windows :-)
You have to activate virtualenv. Go to env/Scripts directory and run activate.bat. Then go to your main project directory and try again python manage.py runserver. If you still see No module named 'django' make sure that django is installed in this environment try pip install django.
I tried below 2 methods to install django_twilio module on Heroku
1) Ran 'heroku run pip install django-twilio'
2) Added 'twilio==3.6.3' to requirements.txt and start the server on heroku.
When I run 'heroku run pip freeze' I can see the twilio entry. But when I go into python and run 'import django_twilio' I get a module not found error.
Please suggest how to fix this on heroku. Same steps worked fine on my local machine.
You didn't add the proper requirement, you only installed the twilio library. Your requirements.txt should include the following line:
django-twilio==0.4
Which will include all the other dependencies you'll need. The full pip freeze, after installing django-twilio looks like this:
Django==1.5.5
django-twilio==0.4
httplib2==0.8
six==1.4.1
twilio==3.6.3
unittest2==0.5.1
As a rule of thumb, always run pip freeze > requirements.txt before pushing an update to Heroku (assuming new dependencies were installed), to make sure you have a complete snapshot of your environment.
I installed django and wrote some small app. After I tried to run my tests with ./manage.py test and saw that django ran 419 tests, but I wrote only 2 of them. As i understand it`s some kind of internal Django tests. How I can disabled them and where are they actually from?
I use virtualenv and this is result of pip freeze:
Django==1.4.3
South==0.7.6
argparse==1.2.1
wsgiref==0.1.2
yolk==0.4.3
First of all i googled and dissabled south tests with SOUTH_TESTS_MIGRATE=False and SKIP_SOUTH_TESTS=True in my setting.py but nothing changed
SOLVED: Solved when I install django-nose
You can choose app for which you whant to run test:
python ./manage.py test <my_app_name>
