Trying to create a Custom Mixin for Class Based Views

I am trying to make a custom mixin for my Carousel but I am getting this error File "/src/content/urls.py", line 3, in from . import views File "/src/content/views.py", line 34, in class IndexView(CarouselObjectMixin, ListView): NameError: name 'CarouselObjectMixin' is not defined the mixin that I made was added to my content app

class IndexView(CarouselObjectMixin, ListView):
    model = Post
    template_name = 'index.html'
    cats = Category.objects.all()
    ordering = ['-post_date']
    ordering = ['-id']

    def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
        cat_menu = Category.objects.all()
        context = super(IndexView, self).get_context_data(*args, **kwargs)
        context["cat_menu"] = cat_menu
        return context

but the custom mixin is in my slideshow app.

Function Based View

views.py

def SlideShowView(request):
    carousel = Carousel.objects.all()
    context  = {
        'carousel' : carousel,
    }
    return render(request, "showcase.html", context)

Converted to Class Based View

views.py

class SlideShowView(ListView):
    model = Carousel
    context_object_name = 'carousel'
    template_name = 'showcase.html'

Custom Mixin

views.py

class CarouselObjectMixin(object):
    model = Carousel
    context_object_name = 'carousel'
    template_name = 'showcase.html'

From the error message it seem like CarouselObjectMixin is not imported in src/content/views.py file
