I have something like this in one of my apps's models.py :
class Account(AbstractBaseUser):
email = models.EmailField(unique=True)
I want to import a class from another app's views.py as below:
from anotherapp.views import MyClass
The problem is in the first lines of anotherapp.views file, I imported the Account class. So when I want to import MyClass into my models.py file, this error raises :
ImportError: cannot import name Account
That is circular import error you are encountering. While it is bad practice to import from views to models in Django, if you still want to, you can follow methods in this question to resolve it.
Here are few alternative ways that can be considered as good practice:
anotherapp instead of MyClass (not depending on views.py)anotherapp's events project wide and act according to.utils.py in anotherapp, move MyClass there and let anotherapp/views.py and your app's models.py import from anotherapp.utils
