Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nsupdate-info/nsupdate.info/issues/433

Hi everybody,
after having 'git cloned' nsupdate.info in /usr/local/nsupdate (FreeBSD 12/python2.7), attempting setup of a local_settings.py file (as per instructions) with:

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=local_settings
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/nsupdate/src/nsupdate/settings

trying to execute the 'dev' environment for the first time, I get:

[root@localhost /usr/local/nsupdate]# python2.7 manage.py runserver
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 9, in <module>
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 364, in execute_from_command_line
    utility.execute()

    self._setup(name)

    self._wrapped = Settings(settings_module)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 110, in __init__
    mod = importlib.import_module(self.SETTINGS_MODULE)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 37, in import_module
    __import__(name)
  File "/usr/local/nsupdate/src/nsupdate/settings/local_settings.py", line 5, in <module>
    from .base import *
ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package

Does anybody see what's wrong?

can you try:

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=local_settings
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/nsupdate/src

when starting, guess you need to be in the same dir as local_settings.py.

also, try to use python3.x if possible.

ThomasWaldmann, thanks for the kind reply.

the solution you suggested didn't work, same error.

After many retries, I discovered that to solve, I had to use:

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=nsupdate.settings.local_settings

without setting PYTHONPATH

Quoting from the docs:

But do not change anything in there, but rather create your own local_settings.py file,
import from our settings and override anything you want to change afterwards.:

from nsupdate.settings.dev import *
SECRET_KEY='S3CR3T'

That looks different than the import in your local_settings.py file:

  File "/usr/local/nsupdate/src/nsupdate/settings/local_settings.py", line 5, in <module>
    from .base import *

I agree with you, this is what made me not to undestand!

Infact, as per instructions, I had already created a local_settings.py file not to modify the original dev/prod .py files, but I was unable to make it processed setting the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE variable.

I think that the issue is due to the 'home' python directory already set to '/usr/local/nsupdate/src' in my python FreeBSD system.
