Question

I get:

TemplateSyntaxError at /blog/post/test
Caught NameError while rendering:
global name ‘forms’ is not defined

for this code:
forms.py

from dojango.forms import widgets
from django.contrib.comments.forms import CommentForm
from Website.Comments.models import PageComment

class PageCommentForm(CommentForm):
    title = widgets.TextInput()
    rating = widgets.RatingInput()

    def get_comment_model(self):
        return PageComment

    def get_comment_create_data(self):
        # Use the data of the superclass, and add in the title field
        data = super(PageComment, self).get_comment_create_data()
        data['title'] = self.cleaned_data['title']
        return data

models.py

from Website.CMS.models import Author, Rating
from django.db.models import CharField, ForeignKey
from django.contrib.comments.models import Comment

class PageComment(Comment):
    title = CharField(max_length=300)
    parent = ForeignKey(Author, related_name='parent_id', null=True)
    author = ForeignKey(Author, related_name='author_id')

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.title

class CommentRating(Rating):
    comment = ForeignKey(PageComment)

__init__.py

from Website.Comments import *

def get_model():
    return models.PageComment

def get_form():
    return forms.PageCommentForm #error here

importing form directly inside init.py results in:

AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no
attribute ‘Comments’

Here’s the stack trace, the error appears to be coming from dojango but that doesn’t really make sense:

line 20, in find_ pp_dir
mod = getattr(import(m, {}, {}, [a]), a)

The Comments app is in the installed apps.
What should I do?

EDIT:
If I try to include forms directly with import forms I get this:

Removing any reference for dojango solves the problem.

This is a bug in dojango.
I will report it.
