Django Shell No module named settings

Question

I\'ve deployed Django to Apache via mod_wsgi. Django is running fine when hosted from Apache. However, I\'m trying to do some maintenance via manage.py

Answer 1

Though Simon Whitaker's answer (that a same-name dir is confusing things) is certainly on point, rather than suggesting you change your entire extant dir structure, might I suggest:

Instead of using the "malfunctioning" / ambiguous...

import settings

...use the more specific...

from django.conf import settings
