Ok, I see plenty of these errors around. I have tried everything I know to do and have yet to figure this out.
I am working on a development server running python 2.5 and Django 1.3. Django 1.3 was installed using python setup.py install after unpacking the tar.gz download.
All works well, I seldom have the need to run
manage.py
but am trying to use the new staticfiles app and am running into problems.python manage.py collectstatic Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 2, in <module> from django.core.management import execute_manager ImportError: No module named core.management
Ok, so I have
PATH
issue.From Django install I double check my
site-packages
directory.python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()" /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages
Ok, let's check out what I have, echo $PYTHON_PATH was empty, so I set it
export PYTHON_PATH=/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django
Still no luck. Lets check what sys.path has to say
>>> import sys >>> print sys.path ['', '/usr/lib/python2.5', '/usr/lib/python2.5/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django', '/var/lib/python-support/python2.5']
path is there, I even created /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django.pth with contents
cat /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django.pth /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/
Anyone got an clues to what is going on here?
I found a symlink further up the path that was getting in the way, but no on to a new error.
python manage.py collectstatic Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 14, in <module> execute_manager(settings) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 438, in execute_manager utility.execute() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 349, in execute version=get_version(), File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/__init__.py", line 12, in get_version from django.utils.version import get_svn_revision ImportError: No module named utils.version
I also tried creating a new project to see if there were any issues there and get the same utils.version error.
Side node: Unode from #django helped me a bit, set up virtualenv on same machine and got past the errors so still not sure what is up with this actual install here, but it seems to not be in the django projects but in the django/python install.

As known this was a path issue.
the base of my custom packages shared a name with a directory set in a /etc/profile. The packages were in a different location however for the webserver. So I removed the offending entries from my $PYTHONPATH and was good to go!
Thanks for the help.

Agreed completely that this is a path issue but fwiw, I had this same error. It was due to the mistake of using a relative path for my Python executable when setting up my virtual environment. I had done this:
virtualenv -p ~/python_runtimes/2.7.3/bin/python venv2.7.3 --distribute
Instead I had to give the full path to the Python executable.

Be sure you're running the right instance of Python with the right directories on the path. In my case, this error resulted from running the python
executable by accident - I had actually installed Django under the python2.7
framework & libraries. The same could happen as a result of virtualenv as well.

Okay so it goes like this:
You have created a virtual environment and django module belongs to that environment only.Since virtualenv isolates itself from everything else,hence you are seeing this.
go through this for further assistance:
1.You can switch to the directory where your virtual environment is stored and then run the django module.
2.Alternatively you can install django globally to your python->site-packages by either running pip or easy_install
Command using pip: pip install django
then do this:
import django print (django.get_version()) (depending on which version of python you use.This for python 3+ series)
and then you can run this: python manage.py runserver and check on your web browser by typing :localhost:8000 and you should see django powered page.
Hope this helps.

I got this due to forgetting that I installed Django using pip -U

That's an interpreter error.
If you are using vscode then just follow these steps:
- View
- Command palette
- Search for
python
- Select interpreter
- Select windows store and your problem will get solved, after few seconds the errors have gone.
This problem occurs due to path changed.

This error usually occurs when django is not installed. If you have already installed django but still getting the same error, then you must be working in separate virtual environment. You need to install django in your virtual environmnent as well. When you are in shell of virtual machine simply do this:
pip install django
It is because virtual machine has separate file system, it doesn't recognize django even if it is installed on your system.

I fixed this problem by changing #PATH="$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin:$PATH" to PATH="$PATH:$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin" For reasons not obvious to me the python executable in the virtualenv dir does not see django but the normally installed python does.

Just a single mistake This happened with me as well. My mistake was that I've created Django project before creating virtual env, later activated the env and was trying to start the server. Just install Django after activating env it will work

First goto: virtualenv
by running the command: source bin/activate
and install django because you are getting the error related to 'import django':
pip install django
Then run:
python manage.py runserver

I was getting the same problem while I trying to create a new app. If you write python manage.py startapp myapp
, then it looks for usr/bin/python. But you need this "python" which is located in /bin directory of your virtual env path. I solved this by mentioning the virtualenv's python path just like this:
<env path>/bin/python manage.py startapp myapp

Solved it!!!
After searching for ages and trying all these other suggestions which didn't work, I finally found the solution for my setup.
My setup/scenario:
- Windows, Python27
- My django project is checked out via svn
- when running python manage.py runserver in the new folder, I got the import error
- python manage.py runserver used to work in the original folder (which I would commit changes from) until I deleted it
Solution
Remove any the folder named django in the same directory of manage.py
Thats right...as soon as I removed the folder "django" which only contained a __init__.py file...I could run the server again!
Have no idea why though

Another possible reason for this problem is that your OS runs python3 by default.
Either you have to explicitly do: python2 manage.py
or you need to edit the shebang of manage.py
, like so:
#!/usr/bin/env python2
or if you are using python3:
#!/usr/bin/env python3

I had the same problem because I was installing Django as a super user, thus not in my virtualenv. You should not do sudo pip install Django
Instead, install it this way:

If you are in a virtualenv you need to activate it before you can run ./manage.py 'command'

If, like me, you are running your django in a virtualenv, and getting this error, look at your manage.py
.
The first line should define the python executable used to run the script.
This should be the path to your virtualenv's python, but it is something wrong like /usr/bin/python, which is not the same path and will use the global python environment (and packages will be missing).
Just change the path into the path to the python executable in your virtualenv.
You can also replace your shebang line with #!/usr/bin/env python
. This should use the proper python environment and interpreter provided that you activate your virtualenv first (I assume you know how to do this).
