Package django-imagekit produces "ImportError: cannot import name conf"

Any help will be appreciated.


I'm having trouble using django-imagekit on AWS, under awslinux. The error doesn't make any sense, so I must be missing something in my AWS system setup.  This same code base runs fine on CentOS 6 and Ubuntu 16.x.  My virtualenv is activated.

This is the error, and the whole stack trace is further below.

File "/home/ec2-user/green-here/www.oxfamamerica.org/venv/www/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/imagekit/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>

 from . import conf

ImportError: cannot import name conf

This doesn't make any sense, because "conf.py" is right there next to "__init__.py":

$ ls /home/ec2-user/green-here/www.oxfamamerica.org/venv/www/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/imagekit/{__init__.py,conf.py}

/home/ec2-user/green-here/www.oxfamamerica.org/venv/www/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/imagekit/conf.py

/home/ec2-user/green-here/www.oxfamamerica.org/venv/www/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/imagekit/__init__.py

This is from my settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
 "imagekit",
 # many others ...
)

This is from pip freeze:

(www) $ pip freeze | grep image

django-imagekit==4.0.1 # the same thing happens on 3.2.6

 from . import conf

ImportError: cannot import name conf

This is my python, in my virtualenv:

(www) $ python -V; which python
Python 2.7.12
~/green-here/www.oxfamamerica.org/venv/www/bin/python

Googling produced a similar report, but that involved mixing python 2.x and Python 3.x; I don't have Python 3 installed on my VM instance.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
