Django Sentry Import error

Question

I have just installed django-sentry and plan to use it for logging in my django project. But I have run into a roadblock.

This is the error that I get, whenever I try to log an error:

    Unable to record event: cannot import name Group

Relevant stack I am using:

    django-paging   - 0.2.4
    django-indexer  - 0.3.0
    django-templatetag-sugar - 0.1
    django-sentry   - 1.13.5 
    raven           - 3.1.15 
    eventlet        - 0.12.1
    greenlet        - 0.4.0 
    lockfile        - 0.9.1   
    python-daemon   - 1.6

This is what I do:

    import logging
    logger=logging.getLogger('sentry.error')
    logger.error('error message')

Logging settings defined in settings.py:

    SENTRY_LOGGING = {
        'version': 1,
        'disable_existing_loggers': True,
        'root': {

            'handlers': ['sentry']
        },

                'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(module)s %(process)d %(thread)d %(message)s'
            }
        },
        'handlers': {

                'propagate': False
            },
            'raven': {
                'level': 'DEBUG',
                'handlers': ['console'],
                'propagate': False
            },
            'sentry.errors': {
                'level': 'DEBUG',
                'handlers': ['console'],
                'propagate': False
            },
            'django.request': {
                'handlers': ['mail_admins'],
                'level': 'ERROR',
                'propagate': True
            }
        }
    }

Stack trace of the exception:

    ERROR 2013-02-25 16:07:56,938 client 17887 140238506051328 Unable to record event: cannot import name Group

        from sentry.models import Group
    ImportError: cannot import name Group

I am trying to figure out what is going wrong, but without luck till now. My hunch is it might be a version problem between Raven and Sentry.

Please help me out if you have any idea what might be causing the problem.

In case I missed some info, do let me know.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

This was because of version conflicts of sentry and raven. Please check the versions at the time of installing. I used raven 3.3.3.
