Django app not found despite adding to INSTALLED_APPS?

Question

its just a sample app,

app name:wiki

#models.py

from django.db import models

class Page(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=20, primary_key=True)
content = models.TextField(blank=True)

#settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'wiki.apps.WikiConfig',
'wikicamp.wiki',
'wiki',
]

(i tried all the possible links/address of the app i.e wiki, and even individually too)

and it still show the following error on running: python3 manage.py makemigrations wiki

Error: App 'wiki' could not be found. Is it in INSTALLED_APPS?

can you show the directory structure of `wiki` (including file names)? — pbhowmick, Jan 22 '16 at 18:31
Adding it to installed_apps doesn't do anything at all to actually make it available to be imported by the rest of your code — Daniel Roseman, Jan 22 '16 at 18:43
i thought about that whole looking at the Polls app, but still, how to solve this ? — Swarup Rajbhandari, Jan 22 '16 at 18:44
@pbhowmick /wikicamp/(wiki/ -"(migration)(_pycache)(admin.py)(apps.py)(init.py)(models.py)(tests.py)(views.py)(urls.py) )" (wikicamp - )(db.sqlite3)(manage.py) — Swarup Rajbhandari, Jan 22 '16 at 18:54
You have a init.py file but it should be __init__.py to set wiki as a python module — harveydf, Jan 22 '16 at 19:28

You are missing a __init__.py right under wiki

no it's just there, the __init__.py file. i haven't tweaked any of the file structure. – Swarup Rajbhandari Jan 23 '16 at 05:23

In my case, that was a virtual env issue. I restart my virtual environment and run python migrate. I had several packages that were missing in the virtualenv, some not related to the initial message.
