Hi, I am following tutorial (for Django 1.8
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/intro/tutorial01/>), I am using
Windows 8, Pycharm, Python 2.7.9 and Django 1.8.3.
I have reached the third chapter (on views) and somewhere on the way I
restarted my laptop and probably installed some updates. Out of sudden the
commands "python manage.py ..." stopped working (to be precise I was trying
to use python manage.py runserver command), and I was getting ImportError
(a long stack trace with info Import by filename is not supported).
So I moved my project to trash and tried to start a new project but was not
able to run django-admin startproject :(
The present stacktrace (still with ImportError) refers to __init__.py in
importlib directory (C:/Python27/Lib/importlib/__init__.py) and it seems to
hate __import__(name) part of import_module function.
Could anyone help me on that as I cannot see what has changed since when
everything worked smoothly :(
Here's the __init__.py code:
"""Backport of importlib.import_module from 3.x."""
# While not critical (and in no way guaranteed!), it would be nice to keep
this
# code compatible with Python 2.3.
import sys
def _resolve_name(name, package, level):
"""Return the absolute name of the module to be imported."""
if not hasattr(package, 'rindex'):
raise ValueError("'package' not set to a string")
dot = len(package)
for x in xrange(level, 1, -1):
try:
dot = package.rindex('.', 0, dot)
except ValueError:
raise ValueError("attempted relative import beyond top-level "
"package")
return "%s.%s" % (package[:dot], name)
def import_module(name, package=None):
"""Import a module.
The 'package' argument is required when performing a relative import. It
specifies the package to use as the anchor point from which to resolve
the
relative import to an absolute import.
"""
if name.startswith('.'):
if not package:
raise TypeError("relative imports require the 'package'
argument")
level = 0
for character in name:
if character != '.':
break
level += 1
name = _resolve_name(name[level:], package, level)
__import__(name)
return sys.modules[name]
