ImportError failure

[Juan Carlos]

Hi everyone,

When I execute
python manage.py runserver

it appers:
ImportError: cannot import name 'example' from 'exsite'

The relative code in the settings.py file is:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'exsite.example',
)

What can I do?

My django version is 1.7, with Python 2.7.  I'm new in this interesting world of Django.  Thanks for your help, and time.

Regards,
Juan

Hi Juan,

I believe you might have a problem while importing "example". Can you
check the line you're importing example and where did you put this
"exsite.example" module?

Your directory structure should be like this:

mysite/
manage.py
mysite/
__init__.py
settings.py
urls.py
wsgi.py
exsite/
__init__.py
example.py
another_app/
__init__.py
another_module.py

So that you can import exsite.example in your another_module.py like:

from exsite.example import AnyClassYouWantToImport

I hope this helps.

p.s. mind the "__init__.py"s on the modules you want to import. There
must be one in your "exsite" dir.
p.s.2. Instead of an example.py file under exsite dir, you may have
written it under __init__.py file as

mysite/
...
mysite/
__init__.py
...

in this __init__.py, you may have
class Example(object):
...
...

this is OK either ;)
