Re: Django app and a submodule name conflict

It may be worth trying a relative import, depending on which version of Python you're using.  I believe you can do "from .B.models import BModel".  Note the '.' full-stop/period before the module.  I can't promise that will fix your problem, as the layout isn't entirely clear to me, but it might get you on the right track.

I have modules in the project with the same names, all placed in different applications.

Particularly there are two apps that conflict and result an ImportError. The project structure approximately is as follows.

project   |_ project        |_ settings.py     |_ ...   |_ apps     |_ A       |_ handlers         |_ B.py         |_ C.py     |_ B       |_ models.py

The settings file adds apps directory to the system path.

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))  sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "apps"))

This configuration assumes that when I import the B.models it will use apps/B/models.py. Although the following line in the C.py file raise an import error as it imports the A/handlers/B.pywhich does not have models module.

A/handlers/C.py:      from B.models import BModel

The sys.path variable has a correct items, i.e. the first one in the list is /path/to/project/appsand sys.modules['B.models'] is referenced to the correct file.

BTW, when I use Django's import_by_path function, everything works fine.

Any ideas how I can solve the problem without renaming the modules?

Posted sample sources on GitHub.

Thanks in advance!
