Re: Hey! I'm recieving an index error when trying to import models, and I can't figure out why.

When importing Python modules, you don't need to include the '.py' file extension. So,

from models.py import UUID

...needs to be:

from models import UUID

Hope this helps,

Jonathan

Hello,

I am incredibly new to Django, as-of-today new, so forgive me if I've missed something really obvious.

I've been going through the tutorial and did so mostly-successfully and decided to redo it with my own code.

Everything was going fine until I decided that it would be a good idea to type from models.py import UUID, Students into the shell. With this I received the following error:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/base.pyc in __new__(cls, name, bases, attrs)
     90             # For 'django.contrib.sites.models', this would be 'sites'.

     91             model_module = sys.modules[new_class.__module__]
---> 92             kwargs = {"app_label": model_module.__name__.split('.')[-2]}
     93         else:
     94             kwargs = {}

IndexError: list index out of range

I went onto stackoverflow and found some people had similar issues a year ago, and suggested that a person delete the pyc files, which I did. It was also suggested that you make DEBUGGING = False, or True or whatever is opposite. I did this, too, only to find the same error.

I did some other things too, all to no avail... all the same error. I even checked to make sure I was saving edited files, TWICE. Still, same error.

With this, I ask for your help o' wise ones.

Thanks.
