And run 'architect --module...' give me Import Error (Django)

[vncsms]

I add the partition configuration in my class:

          @architect.install('partition', type='range', subtype='integer', constraint='100', column='id')
          class Article(ArticleGeneric,
               ConfidenceScoreModel,
               EditableModel,
               HitTrackedModel,
               HotnessScoreModel,
               VotableModel):

I export the path: $ export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=prisvo.settings

But when i execute architect partition --module article.models

    from user.models import User
ImportError: No module named models

My site works with no problem, my model user work perfectly, my migrations are done without errors. Only here is giving me an error. And if i comment where the import is imported is give another import error with the same model but in another code.

Probably you firstly should try to import User model not directly but from get_user_model() from django.contrib.auth

[vncsms]

Ok, i add django.contrib.auth.models import User instead from user.models import User. Now the commands architect partition --module article.models works. But i cannot add users, because several errors. So i revert my import to from user.models import User, and now works fine. I actually don't know what is happening, but i think my problem is solved. Thanks

Try to avoid direct User import. Import from django.contrib.auth.models also not a good way.

[vncsms]

But if cannot import with this two ways, how i import my model User?

[dmitrykaramin]

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
User = get_user_model()

[vncsms]

The problem is the django.contrib.auth.models import User and from user.models import User aren't the same, i have my own user model. And when i use django.contrib.auth is not giving me my model. I think my error: ImportError: No module named models it's happening because the conflict between another object that calls user. But in my project this conflict not occur, only when i execute the architect.
