Django - ImportError: No module named views

Question

I am developing an application in python 2.7 and using Django, when I run it on my local machine (windows 7) it runs well without any error, but when I try to run it in a virtual machine with ubuntu server where it also used to work well, it crashes with the following error

This is my project working tree:

- MYSITE
    * BMM
         ·admin.py
         ·apps.py
         ·models.py
         ·pdf_utils.py
         ·urls.py
         ·views.py
     *Mysite
         ·settings.py
         ·urls.py
         ·wsgi.py

This is the app\\urls.py file:

from django.conf.urls import url
from wkhtmltopdf.views import PDFTemplateView

from . import views 

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
#   url(r'^$', views.pdf, name='pdf'),
#   url(r'^$', views.ganttChart, name='ganttChart'),
    url(r'^pdf/$', PDFTemplateView.as_view(template_name='billReport.html',filename='my_pdf.pdf'), name='pdf'),
    url(r'^report/$', views.report, name='report'),
]

And this is the mysite/urls.py file:

from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
#from wkhtmltopdf.views import PDFTemplateView

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'',include('bmm.urls')),
    url(r'^ganttchart/', include('bmm.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    #url(r'^pdf/$', PDFTemplateView.as_view(template_name='billReport.html', filename='my_pdf.pdf'), name='pdf'),    
]

Any help about how to solve this would be really appreciated

Answer 1

error you are getting is self-explanatory.

It seems you have installed wrong package. you have installed wkhtmltopdf package which has no module named "view". That's why you are getting error : "No module named views"

The correct package is django-wkhtmltopdf , which has module named "view".

Uninstall wkhtmltopdf and install django-wkhtmltopdf . You can find installation and setup instruction for django-wkhtmltopdf here .

1.pip uninstall wkhtmltopdf
2.pip install django-wkhtmltopdf

Don't forget to put wkhtmltopdf in `INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # ...
    'wkhtmltopdf',
    # ...
)
