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',
)
