I am getting "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'blog'"
error when add my blog app to the INSTALLED_APPS section of settings.py
. I have determined that it has something to do with the way I have added the "blog" app under INSTALLED_APPS. When I remove the 'blog' reference from INSTALLED_APPS
error goes away. It looks like that Django
is unable to find directory for my blog app?
I have done one thing differently and that is use:
python manage.py startapp blog /myproject
Difference here is specifying the /myproject
directory and not using:
python manage.py startapp blog
Which will place it under root directory myproject
. I wanted to avoid adding app directory in the root folder so i stay more organized. But it looks like Django does not like this or i am not referencing this correctly in the INSTALLED_APPS
section?
My project directory is as following:
myproject/
├── myproject
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── __pycache__
│ │ ├── __init__.cpython-36.pyc
│ │ ├── settings.cpython-36.pyc
│ │ ├── urls.cpython-36.pyc
│ │ └── wsgi.cpython-36.pyc
│ ├── blog
│ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ ├── admin.py
│ │ ├── apps.py
│ │ ├── migrations
│ │ │ └── __init__.py
│ │ ├── models.py
│ │ ├── tests.py
│ │ └── views.py
│ ├── settings.py
│ ├── urls.py
│ └── wsgi.py
├── db.sqlite3
└── manage.py
Inside my settings.py
I have setup my app blog
:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'blog',
]
Django needs to be able to import your application, usually this means including the full path relative to the root directory 'myproject.blog'
.
You could add <full_path_to_your_project>/myproject/myproject
to PYTHONPATH
so that you can import blog
, but I would not recommend it
Directory structure is unusual. More usual and the one that matches your app being named blog would be
myproject/
