ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '"travelApp'

Question

I am using Django to create a web app, and when I tried to use the py manage.py runserver command, I got this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '"travelApp'

This is the full error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have no idea what is happening, as travelApp is not a module, it is my project name, so I don't know why it is treating it like one.

By the way, here is my settings.py file if that helps.

Anybody know what is happening?

Answer 1

On the error from terminal I can see ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '"travelApp' has extra double quotes fix this in your code and it will start working. Its a syntax error which is causing the issue.
