I am going through another django tutorial and I noticed for the imports the author uses
from project.app.file import item but this doesnt work unless I do
from app.file import item

Example:
Authors version:

from ecomstore.catalog.models import Product

which doesnt work
Error: ImportError: No module named catalog.models

but this does

from catalog.models import Product

I am just why the authors version doesnt work for me and why and if there is a setting I can change to fix this so its easier to follow along.

I am seeing this as an issue in following along and trying to understand how django works this and where the settings or configurations for this resides where I can change within my project.

Thanks

    Per the date, I think you’re using newest django 1.4, which has a new layout when you typed “django-admin.py startproject” and “django-admin.py startapp”.
