ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mysite'

[hikinthru]

I am a new Django user and am setting up my first site on a local MAMP server. Django is running, but when I run `python manage.py makemigrations` I get the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mysite'

------------------------------

This is my wsgi.py file:

"""

WSGI config for flashcards project.

It exposes the WSGI callable as a module-level variable named ``application``.

For more information on this file, see

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/howto/deployment/wsgi/

"""

import os

import sys

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

path = '/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/flashcards/flashcards'

if path not in sys.path:

sys.path.insert(0,path)

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

sys.path.append(BASE_DIR)

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'flashcards.settings'

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'flashcards.settings')

application = get_wsgi_application()

I have searched my entire hard drive for a related config file referencing "mysite" and cannot find one. I'm unable to find anything online that points to where the error is coming from. The words, "mysite" do not exist on my hard drive except in some very old and archived php files in a completely different directory area.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks so much,

Sherrie
