Hi. I've got a doubt about Django, but the reason I didn't post this on
django-users was because the doubt was about Django's behaviour/design.
If I was wrong to post here, I'm sorry.
The problem occured when I was defining a form class. I made changes in
a view, I wrote a form class and I made changes in a template. Then I
went to see the result and Django blew with an error similar to this:
"Could not import app.views.myview. View does not exist in module
app.views.".
This would be pretty normal if there was indeed a problem with my view,
but after a long while trying to find the problem in it, I found out
that the error was instead in my form class where I had tried to use a
forms.TextField to get a textarea, which is the wrong way to do it. The
same error would have appeared if I made a typo in the field class name
instead.
My problem is that there was indeed an error, so Django was right to
blow in my face, I just wish the error was a bit more to the point.
Now, is this normal, or was it a special case derived by my environment?
Oh, and by the way, I'm using Django version 1.4.3. If this has already
been fixed in 1.5 forget this...
