Why am I getting a NameError: global name 'send_mail' is not defined?
From my models.py:
from django.template import Context, loader
from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _
from django.core.mail import send_mail
.......
class Payment(models.Model):
# send email for payment
# 1. render context to email template
email_template = loader.get_template('classifieds/email/payment.txt')
context = Context({'payment': self})
email_contents = email_template.render(context)
# 2. send email
send_mail(_('Your payment has been processed.'),
email_contents, settings.FROM_EMAIL,
[self.ad.user.email], fail_silently=False)
Thank you!

The traceback is from your views.

You posted code from your models.
classifieds/views/create.py does not have send_mail imported, I would think.
Another question though is why are you doing this stuff on your model class and not .. in a model method ...
EDIT: The way you put it in the question it makes it look super-weird that this send mail stuff is happening on the class and not in a method. Looking at the source, you see that it is in the Payment.complete method: https://github.com/saebyn/django-classifieds/blob/master/classifieds/models.py#L273
send_mail is used here:
https://github.com/saebyn/django-classifieds/blob/master/classifieds/views/create.py#L116
but is not imported, import it.
