Django view showing error in virtual environment

I am using virtual Environment to develop the project. Using python3 and Django 1.9.7
I am splitting views into multiple files. Below is the tree structure.

|-- urls.pyc
`-- Views
    |-- DashboardView.py
    |-- DashboardView.pyc
    |-- __init__.py
    |-- __init__.pyc
    |-- __pycache__
    |   |-- DashboardView.cpython-34.pyc
    |   |-- __init__.cpython-34.pyc
    |   `-- VehicleView.cpython-34.pyc
    |-- VehicleView.py
    `-- VehicleView.pyc

Inside __init__.py file - 

from VehicleView import *
from DashboardView import *

When I am activating virtual environment and running code it throws me below error - 

File "/home/rana/DjangoProject/FirstChoice/MyFirstCar/MyFirstCarBackEnd/Views/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from VehicleView import *
ImportError: No module named 'VehicleView'

If I do not activate the virtual environment and run the code, it runs without any error. Default django version 1.8.4 and python 2.7.6

In your __init__.py try to use local imports instead, this may be a problem if you are using python3 in your virtual environment.

from .VehicleView import *
from .DashboardView import *

Besides file and module names in python should follow snake case convention, only classes should use CamelCase.

from .vehicle_view import *
form .dashboard_view import *
