i am getting error i.e;

ImportError: No module named test.meetinghandler

please help me out what i am doing wrong .

Answer 1

from test import meetinghandler looks for a test module, which it will not find in your python path.

The reason? You added /home/rohit/test/ to your python path, but that directory doesn’t itself contain a test directory 🙂 Python looks for modules inside the path, that’s why.

In your case you’d have to add your home dir to your python path to be able to find it. (Or better, google for virtualenv and so).
