django ViewDoesNotExist
Question: I'm getting a weird error and I can't track it down. The stack trace doesn't
give any clue as to the location of the error either. It's just giving me the
standard urlresolvers.py ViewDoesNotExist exception. Here is the error
message:

    
    
    Could not import myapp.myview.views. Error was: No module named model
    

At first I thought I forgot to put an "s" on models somewhere in my code, but
after a search of the entire codebase, that is not the case.

Here's the trackback:

    
    
    File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\django\core\handlers\base.py" in get_response
      91.                         request.path_info)

      132.             raise ViewDoesNotExist("Could not import %s. Error was: %s" % (mod_name, str(e)))
    
    Exception Value: Could not import myapp.myview.views. Error was: No module named model
    


Answer: From what you've posted, it seems like the error is in myapp.myview.views.

You already mentioned looking for misspellings of "models", which is good. You
might also try asking Django to validate your models to ensure that they are
properly importable (run this in your Django project root):

    
    
    python manage.py validate
    

Beyond that, just keep following the imports in myapp.myview.views until you
see something odd. You can check to see if everything is properly importable
by opening a shell:

    
    
    python manage.py shell
    

And attempting to import and/or try things from there.

Beyond that, someone may be able to assist you more if you post the full
traceback. Good luck!
