Import Error on server, but working OK in local machine

Question

I have the following project structure:

apps(python package)
      |
      |
      |----------trips(python package)
                   |----__init__.py
                   |----urls.py
                   |----views.py
    project
    manage.py

urls.py file has the following imports:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required

from . import views

The app works perfectly fine when running on a local machine (I've made lots of apps like this, so I don't think the mistake is that obvious, but who knows) When I upload this to a production server (Openshift with python 3), I see Django's debug template, stating an ImportError ocurred:

ImportError at /

cannot import name views

The line of the Exception is:

from . import views

I've tried also:

from apps.trips import views 

with no luck... Any ideas?

Update: This is my Python path:

The last line points to my project folder (the one that contains the apps module). Another strange thing is django seems to be able to find my settings.py

I'm using the python 3 cartridge because "it's the present and future of the language"

Answer 1

ImportError can arise when there is a problem with the module you are importing. In this case, one of the dependences for the views module was missing on the server.

Answer 2

Is there a reason you need to use the python 3 cartridge at this time? We have a new one coming out in about 3 weeks that will be more standard. We even have a quickstart for django with the 2.7 cart - github.com/openshift/django-example

Answer 3

I don't see the reference to {python_home}/Lib/site-packages/django. You might try adding that to your path.
