django error - ImportError: No module named apps

Question

I'm trying to create a first django project called mysite. The structure of my project is:

mysite/
    manage.py
    mysite/
        __init__.py
        settings.py
        urls.py
        wsgi.py

    polls/
        __init__.py
        admin.py
        apps.py
        migrations/
           __init__.py
        models.py
        tests.py
        urls.py
        views.py

I have created the database called sample. After modifying the models.py file. I'm trying to run the command- python manage.py makemigrations polls. but m getting the following error.

/Documents/mysite$ python manage.py makemigrations polls

ImportError: No module named apps

my settings.py file looks like this:

# Application definition

    'polls.apps.PollsConfig',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',

    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
)

ROOT_URLCONF = 'mysite.urls'

WSGI_APPLICATION = 'mysite.wsgi.application'


# Database

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'sample',
        'USER': 'lo',
        'PASSWORD': '',
        'HOST': 'localhost',                 
        'PORT': '3306', 
    }
}

# Internationalization

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-us'

TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'

USE_I18N = True

USE_L10N = True

USE_TZ = True

Please help me to solve this. I'm novice to python. Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

The error is because it is looking for an apps module inside of PollsConfig, you can just include polls in your installed apps

'polls.apps.PollsConfig',

should be

'polls',
