Here is my relevant directory structure (Windows 7, Python 2.7, virtualenv)

            -           -account
            -           -   -   base.html
            -           -   -   email.html
            -settings
            -       base_settings.py
            -       dev.py
            -       __init__.py
            -       
            -static
                -css

I get the following error when I try to run this dango app Error: No module named account

I have read other posts on SO that refer to the syspath being the issue or that the appname matches the project name

Django Shell No module named settings

...as a result of this, I added the following statements in the base_settings.py file

import sys
base = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)))
base_parent = os.path.dirname(base)
sys.path.append(base)
sys.path.append(base_parent)
sys.path.append(os.path.join(base,'libs'))
sys.path.append(os.path.join(base,'libs','allauth','account'))

I verified that the sys.path is correct by putting a break in PyCharm and evaluating sys.path

Should I be putting this in manage.py?

Some other SO postings referred to not being able to import the module but I can launch the python console and import UserProfile.libs.allauth.account without any exceptions being thrown!

My base_setings.py has the following relevant section

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'UserProfile.libs.allauth.account',
)
