 Github won't let me comment on https://github.com/pculture/unisubs/commit/e41f74fa5a17573b08001cc1431b615abca930ba

 so just saving this here for now.

 unisubs is hitting the double import problem that is caused by Django's old default project layout and management script, which creates a broken Python import configuration. Django's default behaviour has been fixed (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.4/#updated-default-project-layout-and-manage-py) but projects using the old layout may still see the issue.

 The only reliable solution is to fix the layout to avoid the broken configuration that allows the same module to be imported under two different names. The simplest way to do this is to:
 1. Remove any sys.path manipulation from manage.py
 2. Ensure that manage.py is *not* inside a Python package (there should *not* be an adjacent __init__.py file)
 3. Adjust imports as needed for any changed made in steps 1 and 2
