Django项目文件夹结构

Question

I am trying to organize my django project structure as:

- myproject
  -- manage.py
  -- main_application
  -- third_party
     --- tastypie

But when i put tastypie in third_party folder and add it to installed applications with 'third_party.tastypie' tastypie models.py gives error:

from tastypie.utils import now
ImportError: No module named 'tastypie'

How can i fix this issue without touching to tastypie models.py code?

Answer 1

It seems that you're organising your environment wrong. Try using virtualenv . It gives you a nice way to isolate all of your project dependancies, so you can pip install tastypie inside a virtualenv, which will put tastypie in the correct location for every app inside that environment to find. I strongly recommend this solution.

On a side note and if you insist on not using virtualenv: you should either add /path/to/byproject/third_party to sys.path or add an empty __init__.py to your third_party directory and import it like from third_party.tastypie.utils import now
