Django Import Error: cannot import name “Shift”



I'm pretty sure it's due to a circular import but I'm not too sure how to solve my issue



in mysite/shifts/models.py


from django.db import models

class Shift(models.Model):
# defines a shift`



in mysite/shifts/scrapes.py


from shifts.models import Shift



I can share more code if you need but I believe the issue is here, I've added my apps to settings.py and I get this error when I run scrapes.py as a django-admin command


settings.py


scrapes.py


from shifts.models import Shift
ImportError: No module named 'shifts'



project_structure





it looks like the Python path has been set wrong. You probably have set one above mysite.

from mysite.shifts.models import Shift





This solved that error! I now have an error: from mysite.shifts.models import Shift ImportError: No module named 'mysite' I've tried including mysite in installed apps but no luck resolving it.
