Question

I’m trying to run a project a friend sent me using Win7x64 with python 2.7 and Django 1.4/1.3

My friend has a similar setup so it should work but it doesn’t. At first I thought it was because I’m using 1.4 instead of 1.3 like he did, but nope same weird error

“Error: no module named follow” zero results in google…

What is causing this and how do I fix it?

Answer 1

Does your project use something like django-follow?

Check the INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py and for hints in urls.py that indicate this. Ask your friend to do a pip freeze in their project folder and send you the output or to generate a requirements.txt from the output of the pip freeze which will show all project dependencies.

If django-follow is the only missing thing then you can resolve it with pip install django-follow. Else you should also be installing the other dependencies.
