ImportError: Could not import settings

[sri]

Hi,

I am trying to develop an sample project in Django and getting errors when i run syncdb command.

This is how my project structure looks like:

/Users/Sreek/django_demo/godjango/bookings:

                      

                       manage.py

                       registration/

                             forms.py

                             views.py

                             models.py

                             urls.py

                       bookings/

                             settings.py

                             urls.py

And my manage.py file looks like below :

    #!/usr/bin/env python

    import os

    import sys

    if __name__ == "__main__":

        os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "bookings.settings")

        from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line

         execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

And my PYTHONPATH and DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE are set as below

$echo $DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE

bookings.settings

$ echo $PYTHONPATH

/Users/Sreek/django_demo/godjango/bookings

And my WSGI.py file looks like below:

      import os

     os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "bookings.settings")

     from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

     application = get_wsgi_application()

But when i run the python manage.py syncdb command, i am getting the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise ImportError("Could not import settings '%s' (Is it on sys.path?): %s" % (self.SETTINGS_MODULE, e))

ImportError: Could not import settings 'bookings.settings' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named unipath

Could someone suggest what i am missing?  Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
there's a little hint at the end of exception:

> No module named unipath

Seems like you import module unipath in your settings.py, which is not
on your sys.path.

I never set PYTHONPATH for development and everything works fine.
Python adds current directory to sys.path, so when you run ./manage.py,
you don't need to set PYTHONPATH pointing to current working directory.

Check content of you sys.path.


Cheers,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Thanks very much.That solved the problem after removing that import.
