Smart Selects looked so simple and promising for chained selects (https://github.com/digi604/django-smart-selects). However, no matter how I install it, it doesn't seem to work. Here is what I've tried:
*Attempt #1 - putting it in django.contrib * Copied the smart_selects folder to /django/contrib/smart_selects Added "django.contrib.smart_selects" to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py But within Django shell I got this error: >>> from django.contrib import smart_selects >>> smart_selects.urls AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urls' *Attempt #2 - installed using pip* I removed the smart_selects folder from /django/contrib folder (above) and then installed using pip... which put smart_selects in the Python site-packages folder. But then trying to use smart_selects within urls.py produced an ugly "ImportError: cannot import name simplejson" which suggests smart_selects has some outdated dependencies. (I"m using Django 1.7). *Attemp #3 - putting smart_packages in the root folder of my Django project * When smart_selects is placed here, again I can import smart_selects from the Django shell but not access smart-selects.urls : Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. (InteractiveConsole) >>> import smart_selects >>> dir(smart_selects) ['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', 'models'] >>> smart_selects.urls Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urls' Finally it works if i do this: >>> import smart_selects.urls >>> smart_selects.urls <module 'smart_selects.urls' from '/Users/chas/Projects/switch/djangoroot/smart_selects/urls.pyc'> However, I really don't like putting apps here since they clutter up my own development (and would rather keep 3rd party apps in django/contrib). What am I missing about the smart_selects ? Thank you, Mike, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
