Environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined

[Chris]

I'm running a basic webapp install, but where ever my code imports
google.appengine.ext.db.djangoforms or django.newforms I'm getting the
error "Environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined".
Since webapp doesn't using Django's settings, what could be causing
this?

Before you import any django libraries, except for those from
google.appengine.* you ust specify the Django settings.
If you are using a fully Django environment, you should refer to
http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-samples/source/browse/trunk/django_example/settings.py
for an idea of what settings should be like.

However, i fear that you are not using a fully Django base, so in that
case, you can see http://thomas.broxrost.com/2008/04/08/django-on-google-app-engine/
for importing Django in GAE.

I hope this will solve your problem.

Hi Chris!

Did you make sure to first import google.appengine.webapp.template
before importing the djangoforms module?
Please have a look at this article:

http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/djangoforms.html

I don't think django.newforms exists in appengine, AFAIK it has been
deprecated.
