Answer 1

An ImportError exception happens when Python cannot import a particular module. Usually it's because that module doesn't appear in your PYTHONPATH environment variable.

So, in your case, you need to add the path to django.conf to your PYTHONPATH.

Here's a great write-up on several different ways of accomplishing this:

Edited: corrected typo--django.conf should be added to the path, not evennia.py, thanks Yuji.

Answer 2

Remove the .pyc files using the command

find . -name "*.pyc" -exec rm -f {} \;

and test again.

Answer 3

You will get this if you just haven't installed Django.

e.g.

pip install django

Answer 4

Its hard to do manual stuff of changing the path and might create some more problems so instead go to your environment and delete "bin" folder and "pip-selfchek.json" now re-create your env with whatever method you want to use. i generally use

virtualenv -p python3 <envname>

now activate the env, and check all your package by

pip freeze

all good to go.
