so here is my problem - the gravatar app (from google projects - here! http://code.google.com/p/django-gravatar/) in my django project crashed everything on startup.
i get this error Error: No module named gravatar
this is my installed apps:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'django.contrib.admin',
'dumpstown.dumpstownapp',
'bootstrap_toolkit',
'registration',
'gravatar'
)
and from the console when i run this:
>> import sys
>> print sys.path
['', 'C:\\development\\python\\lib\\site-packages\\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg',
'C:\\development\\python\\lib\\site-packages\\pip-1.1-py2.7.egg', 'C:\\developm
ent\\PycharmProjects\\lib\\gravatar', 'C:\\Windows\\system32\\python27.zip', 'C:
\\development\\python\\DLLs', 'C:\\development\\python\\lib', 'C:\\development\\
python\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\development\\python\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\development
\\python', 'C:\\development\\python\\lib\\site-packages']
what am i missing here?
UPDATE huh, weird. I've checked the gravatar folder, and i have
templatetags dir
__init__.py
models.py
views.py
also, if i change the installed apps section to read:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'django.contrib.admin',
'dumpstown.dumpstownapp',
'bootstrap_toolkit',
'registration',
'templatetags'
)
then the server starts up fine and runs. But i... i'm all confused now! Am i meant to import the templatetags? or something else? how do i refer to the gravatar stuff if i'm importing templatetags??
EDIT: Solved.
I just don't understand how python works, it would seem! I was totally adding the wrong item to the pythonpath - i was adding C:\\development\\PycharmProjects\\lib\\gravatar, where i should have really been adding C:\\development\\PycharmProjects\\lib
this solved the problem, and now i can use gravatar as i want. The settings.py entry is as above in my first example (that is, just 'gravatar') and the way i use it is i just {% load gravatar %}
hurrah!
