What do you get if you run python manage.py shell from a bash console in your web app's directory?

I get:

Ah, sorry, I see you're running a web app with Python 3.3. Could you run python3.3 manage.py shell instead? Also, please give all of the output -- I think you're missing a bit from the end of that last one.

here with python3.3:

Thanks! That all looks OK.

So, here's an experiment -- could you edit your web app's WSGI file (there's a link on the "Web" tab) and replace the last two lines, which probably look something like this:

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

...with this instead:

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

same error

Hmm -- where are you seeing the error? I don't see anything in the error logs, and when I visit the site I get something that looks like it's working. Is there a specific URL on the site?

giles | 11788 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | Oct. 8, 2014, 5:44 p.m. | permalink

Yes indeed there the error log is empty I don't know why.

I see the error when I try to visit

http://www.dashboard.lu/login/loginrequest/

The error only appears when I put the crispy tag

 {% crispy form form.helper %}

If I put the Django form tag

 {{ form }}

Then I have no errors and I can see the form.

I found the problem. I had some old

 from "app name" import views

in one of my urls.py files which gave the "no module named views".

That's good to hear -- thanks for letting us know!

Hi,

I have a working web project, which uses 'crispy_forms'. But I am getting an error saying "No module named crispy_forms".

I have done the following: 1) Installed crispy_forms the virtual environment using the command "pip install --user --upgrade django-crispy-forms" 2) Peformed makemigrations using the command "python manage.py makemigrations", which returned "No changes Detected" 3) Performed migrate operation using the command "python manage.py migrate", which returned the following: "Operations to perform: Apply all migrations: admin, contenttypes, newsletter, auth, sessions Running migrations: No migrations to apply."

I don't really understand the issue here, FYI,I can see here that, the new crispy_forms, is nor migrated.

Can you please advice me on how I should go forward to solve this issue?

Thank you! Aravind Harikumar (aravind.pythonanywhere.com)

I found the problem. There were 2 virtual environments which were created. The pip installation was made in the wrong one. Now it is working. Thanks :)
