Django settings — could not import unipath

Question

I could not figure out what I'm doing wrong. Could you please help me? I have the following directory structure:

project-repository
  \-- my-project
       \--manage.py
       \--my-project
             \--__init__.py
             \--urls.py
             \--wsgi.py
             \--settings
                    \--__init__.py
                    \--local.py
                    \--base.py

In the local.py I import base.py. In base.py I have from unipath import Path. When I try to run django-admin shell --settings=my-project.settings.local it shows me an error:

Error: Could not import settings 'my-project.settings.local' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named unipath

When I do pip freeze it shows me:

Unipath==0.2.1

and I can easily import it in python console. Also I have project-repository and my-project on PYTHONPATH.

Here is unipath.__file__ output:

/home/User/.virtualenvs/django.1.4/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/unipath/__init__.pyc

And here is one of the lines from sys.path output:

/home/User/.virtualenvs/django.1.4/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Could you please point me to what I'm doind wrong?

Answer 1

add file __init__.py to settings directory

Answer 2

It seems like I figured out the problem. The think was that I did a lot of mess. I had django and other apps installed globaly (long before I started developing the project). Then I installed virtualenvwrapper and created virtualenv. Working in the virtualenv I installed the required dependencies and the django. But when I was trying to run that I ran the globally installed version of django. As a result there were some incompatibilities. After I uninstalled global packages, everithing is ok.

How I figured out it? Thanks a lot to Jeff Knup and his post Starting a Django 1.4 Project the Right Way. I walked through the described steps and when I ran

(my-virtualenv)$ which django-admin.py

it showed me the following path:

/usr/local/bin/django-admin

while it should have:

$HOME/.virtualenvs/

that was a sign that something is wrong.

Thanks a lot for everybody for trying to help me.
