Not really. It is pure Python and nothing to do with Django.

It depends on your project layout. For example, is models a directory or
a file?

Where is views.py?

Are you using absolute_import or relative import?

How does it work from within Python running in a terminal?

If things work inconsistently it probably means you are successfully
importing something which is on sys.path which you didn't expect.
