custom management commands: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Command'

[Matthew Meyer]

I am trying to make a custom management command as show in the docs here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-management-commands/

When I try to run the command from my project directory I am experiencing the following error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Command'

Here is the file:

#event_expiration.py
from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand, CommandError
from app.models import Event
import datetime

class Command(BaseCommand):
    help = 'deletes expired events'

    def handle(self, *args, **options):

        today = datetime.datetime.now()
        events = Event.objects.filter(date=datetime.date(2011,11,11))

        for e in events:
            e.delete()

        self.stdout.write('Expired events successfully deleted.')

The command I am running is :

$ python manage.py event_expiration

I've made sure I am adding the event_expiration.py file within management and commands folders and that those folders have init files. those are in one of my app folders.

Am I overlooking something here? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Since I don't see anything wrong with your code or setup, I'm going to
take a stab in the dark and say that you need to loose the underscore in
the command.
Otherwise, please provide the *full* traceback for more clues.

I have many custom management command names that have underscores in them.  I've never had a problem.  I believe that a management command name only needs follow python rules for naming files.

I'd look more into the full traceback. I haven't had any trouble with underscores either.
