DJANGO: feinCMS missing mptt when trying to sync.db

Question

I'm trying to setup an instance of FeinCMS to check it out. I've added the all the modules under INSTALLED APPS but when I run the command python manage.py syncdb I get the error Import Error: No module named mptt . What am I doing wrong?

My settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'feincms', 
    'mptt', 
    'feincms.module.page',
    'feincms.module.medialibrary'  
)

Answer 1

Did you install the package?

> pip install django-mptt

I assume you're using a virtualenv?

Is your project running within the same Python env as the interpreter? If it is, a quick check would be:

> pip install yolk
> yolk -l  # see if the mptt package is available, if not:
> pip install django-mptt  # optionally use the --update flag

Still issues? Remove any *.pyc files and restart your server to make sure there's no import issues from previously removed files.

> find . -type f -name "*.pyc" | xargs rm
> ./manage.py runserver 8000

No good? Add a statement to your manage.py file right after your import statements:

# ...
import sys
print sys.path

Re-run the server to see if the mptt is missing from your path, if it is, check your site-packages folder and check the package's path.
