Import Error at /admin/

I seem to have a problem for awhile now i just cant understand.

While trying to go into my Django admin site, i keep getting import error at /admin/ no module named tools. The thing is, i had an app named tools, but removed it from the project. But am still getting the import error at admin, no module named tools. After a bit of googling on stackoverflow, i found a article that suggested deleting all pyc files as they contain old data still being referenced, which makes sense. But after removing every pyc file i could see in my current project directory i still get the error.

Heres where it gets weird.

I am using django_tables2. I also have a books app which tracks books information. I created a table class for the books app and specified a table column to be a link column. When viewing the index page of the books app i get the import error at /books/ no module named tools, yet there is no reference to tools at all in the books app?? I get the same error import error at /admin/ no module named tools. But if i change the LinkColumn in the books app table class back to a normal column, just changing the verbose name, the error goes away with the books app index page but still persists with admin?? I honestly have no clue whats going on here.

Edit: Even after starting a new tools app and registering it in admin.py its the same error. The only thing i can think of its a path error but how and why, if it can find the other apps in the same directory?

I am more than willing to post any code i have if required but i have no idea where to even start looking.

For anyone that stumbles upon this question:

I've experienced an error like this before, got it working by commenting out url patterns in urls.py. There may be a rouge import in one of your views and since your admin panel imports all views found in your url patters, try commenting them out 1 by 1 and you might spot the culprit.
