Django Import Error: No Module Named Apps

I just checked out a project with git. The project structure is project apps myapp settings __init__.py __init__.py manage.py There are other direct

Solution 1:

You need to add an empty __init__.py (4 underscores in total) file in the apps folder for it to be recognized by Python as a package.

Have a look at the documentation for more informations.

Solution 2:

If you've used the django-admin startapp myapp command, it creates this file: myapp/apps.py.

It could be conflicting with your apps/ module folder. A hidden apps.pyc file could be in your myapp/ folder.

Try removing these:

• project/apps/myapp/apps.py
• project/apps/myapp/apps.pyc

Solution 3:

Note that in Django 1.9 there is a module called django.apps

Avoiding name clashes with built-in modules is generally advised

Solution 4:

This can also happen if you installed your app in settings.py in your main project folder, before running this:

python manage.py startapp [app-name]

Comment it out, create the app (should work now), then put the line back into the settings.py file and continue on.

Solution 5:

Note that in Django 1.9, you can add your app into the INSTALLED_APPS list.

If your app name is app and you have created models in it, then go to the settings.py file and add your app:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'app'
]
