Hi myneur, Can you give me the exact error message, the way your files are organized and the corresponding import statement used ?

Hi,
I've ment it is reporting faulty imports when relative paths are used in imports:

correct import in models.py is:
from managers import SomeClass

This reports next faulty import:
...articles/models.py(line:15) Reason:No module named managers

models.py and managers.py are in the same directory, so full path import is not needed :
from articles.managers import SomeClass
