help with Error was: No module named io

[CrabbyPete]

I am running django 1.3 on python version 2.5.2. My code runs fine on
python v2.6 but on v2.5.2 I get the following

Could not import base.views. Error was: No module named io

Here is the traceback:

I'm posting it here because my understanding is that django 1.3
supports python 2.5., however this code runs perfectly well on 2.6 but
not on 2.5 and I get this error
I have posted it on the django user group and I got this reply which I
believe is correct.

Is this a bug, or does django 1.3 not support python 2.5?

Thanks

Looking at the traceback below it looks like your base.views module is importing io and not django. Can you check and see if that's the case? I'm running django on 2.5 and it doesn't appear broken.

As you've been told - twice - on that very thread, the problem appears
to be in your own code. Django *does* support Python 2.5, and we have
the test suite to prove it:

http://ci.django-cms.org/job/Django/database=sqlite3,python=python2.5/

On the other hand, Django doesn't guarantee that *your* code runs
under Python 2.5. In this case, assuming your PYTHONPATH is set up
right, if you open up a normal python prompt and run:

>>> from base import views

You should see the same "ImportError: No module named io" error.
Remove or replace that import, and your code will run.
