Integrate django via pydev in eclipse?

I have installed eclipse indigo and pydev and python 32.

I have configured my python path and can create an "empty" django project:

enter image description here

However, when I run right click on project and run as->pydev: django

I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: Could not import settings 'C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\django\conf\project_template\settings.py' (Is it on sys.path?): Import by filename is not supported.

Any idea what I ned to fix to run a django project in eclipse?

Right click on the project and select 'Pydev-Django' and the following

  1. 'Django manage.py': this is relative path to the manage.py file with respect to the project root
  2. 'Django settings module:' this is python dotted path to the setting file being used (exclude .py) as shown below enter image description here

if you see the message " Module: x.x.setting could be found" as in the picture above then add this project to the python path as show below

right click the project and select Pydev - PYTHONPATH

enter image description here

now python project is added

enter image description here

After adding python path to the project settings module is found enter image description here

Everything will fine now :) note: This was made using django 1.10 and pydev 5.2

  • Go to Window -> Preferences -> Pydev -> Interpreter - Python
  • Go to the String Substitution Variables tab
  • Add the 2 following variables:
    • DJANGO_MANAGE_LOCATION with the path to django/conf/project_template/
    • DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE with the /settings/

Be sure to follow these steps from http://pydev.org/manual_adv_django.html

  1. The project must be marked as a Django project inside of PyDev.

  2. A DJANGO_MANAGE_LOCATION string substitution variable must point to the project-relative location of manage.py.

  3. A DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE string substitution variable must contain the name of the settings module in that project.

DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is actually python module name, not a specific file. So your DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE should be 'project_template.settings'
