if your like me then you get this message from within the python interpreter. 
Well I
figured out that I need to be running the"python manage.py shell" command from 
within
the site DIR to get all the environment variables correct.

The setup.py script imports the tagging module to extra its version 
information. 
Unfortunately, the tagging module's __init__.py file globally imports some 
models
which rely on the rest of Django's infrastructure to be up and running (hence 
the
need for settings).

Running the installation from with "python manage.py shell" as Dankles suggests
solves the problem, or you can move the this line in tagging.__init__.py:

    from tagging.managers import ModelTaggedItemManager, TagDescriptor

... down into the register() function so that those modules aren't imported by
default just to query the VERSION value.

I'm having the same problem.
Can't even start python manage.py shell without a: "AttributeError: 'module' 
object has no attribute 'tagging'"
... maybe it's the 1.0 alpha...

the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE error has nothing to do with tagging - it means your
environment isn't setup right for django, nothing more

You could remove the "version_tuple = __import__('tagging').VERSION" from the
setup.py file and explicitly set the version_tuple. 

It's really important to have python setup.py <commands> working.

Dirty, dirty, filthy ugly hack that works (tested on Slackware Linux 
12.1.0/-current,
should work with no problems on other Unices - going by the Python 
documentation for
the os module, may present with issues on FreeBSD/OSX. Unknown behaviour on 
Win32).

Involves setting an environment variable in setup.py (DJANGO_TAGGING_SETUP = 
"Yes")
and checking for that in __init__. Not as simple as simply hardcoding the
version_tuple into setup.py.

If you add

from django.conf import settings
settings.configure()

to setup.py it will fix the error you are getting.

Eric's solution worked for me, and seems like the simplest fix. 

Cheers!

This shouldn't be a problem anymore since setup.py doesn't import from version 
from tagging/__init__.py any 
longer. Report new issues as they come up.

• Changed state: Fixed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Seems like this should be fixed but I still get the error. I have to do all the 
steps
in Eric's post to import tagging after a fresh install. I am using django1.1 and
python2.6

Eric's solution fixed the problem for me, only after I used ardaeren13's 
suggestion. Thanks both.
