Django ImportError while adding guardian module
Question: Being a beginner of using Django, i am trying to add some module for the
purpose of testing Django, but I've got a problem regarding the importError
which I've googled for solution with no success. Below is my situation

The project is created to my PC J:\ while the python package is installed on
C:. According to guardian's installation guide following code have to be added
in django's backend:

    
    
    AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend', # default
    'guardian.backends.ObjectPermissionBackend',)
    

The problem's come, when I put the guardian's app under the directory of
mysite, configurate the install_apps setting with 'guardian' and start syncdb,
the error claim as below which i believe that it is because the django's filw
do not understand what is "guradian" really is

> File "J:\mysite\guardian\conf\settings.py", line 6, in raise
> ImproperlyConfigured("In order to use django-guardian's "
> django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: In order to use django-
> guardian's O bjectPermissionBackend authorization backend you have to
> configure ANONYMOUS_USE R_ID at your settings module

So, I move the 'guardian' folder under Django's contrib folder, adding the sys
path and configurate the install_app setting with 'django.contrib.guardian'.
However, I end up with the importerror.


Answer: As it seems from the error message, you need to add the user id for anonymous
user for you site.

Create a user (named maybe anonymous) and put the id of user in the
settings.py file.  
Obtain the user id from the database using the shell.

Put the id in the settings file:

    
    
    ANONYMOUS_USER_ID = <Your anonymous USER_ID>
    

### EDIT:

Just looked through the documentation of the django-guardian app. It also
specifies this:  
<http://packages.python.org/django-guardian/configuration.html>
