ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting INSTALLED_APPS, but settings are not configured

Question

I\'m trying to make MongoDB and Django get on with each other the way I want them to. That\'s the error I\'m getting when trying to import viewsets from rest_framework_mongoengi

Answer 1

Run python manage.py shell instead of running python to reach environment shell in your project. Python does not simply recognize django installed apps by default.
