Question

To send emails and stuff, I use code outside the views.py file (too much code there). I created a file named “tools.py” in the app folder where I start with

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.core.mail import send_mail

from mysite.myapp.models import MyModel

With runserver, I have an error ImportError: cannot import name MyModel

This is strange as I use the same import in the views.py file and there is no problem…

Any idea ? Thanks

Most likely, you have a circular import. Are you importing this tools.py file in your myapp/models.py?
