I don't understand this error - Django 1.9

[Becka]

Hi, 

I'm building a pretty basic CRUD application for a community I'm part of.   I'm now getting "ImportError: No module named [myappname]" when I run the server, and an operational error in the admin. 

I looked at the documentation, and followed the steps, but I'm not doing something correctly.  I'd like to 1) fix this, and 2) propose some changes to the docs to clarify this issue. 

My project is called "ladynerds" (We're a professional association for a bunch of women software engineers). 

Here's the documentation I'm following:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/applications/

I'm using Django 1.9

Here's my file structure:

/ladynerds   (project file)

 /ladynerds  (app)

  __init__.py

  models.py

  forms.py

  settings.py

  urls.py

  views.py

  wsgi.py

  /static

  /templates

  

Here's what I put into ladynerds/__init__.py:

import apps

default_app_config = 'LadyNerds.apps.LadyNerdsConfig'

I've also tried using 'ladynerds.apps.LadyNerdsConfig'

Here's what I put into ladynerds/apps.py:

from django.apps import AppConfig

class LadyNerdsConfig(AppConfig):

name = "LadyNerds"

verbose_name = "LadyNerds"

Here's my settings.py INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = (

    'ladynerds.apps.LadyNerdsConfig',

    'django.contrib.admin',

    'django.contrib.auth',

    'django.contrib.contenttypes',

    'django.contrib.sessions',

    'django.contrib.messages',

    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

    'ladynerds'

)

I'm getting:  ImportError: No module named LadyNerds

What am I missing?

And, thanks.

Whoops. Wrong list.  Sorry about that.

Try emptying your __init__.py file -- its contents aren't necessary and "import apps" may be causing the problem.

In the future, please use django-users for usage/debugging questions like this. This mailing list is for discussion about the development of Django itself. Thanks!
