django ImportError: No module named tiny-mce

Question

I am running django 1.7.2 and python 2.7.

I have a test form that I want to add django-tinymce to my text-areas.

I have followed the tutorial here to install django-tinymce.

However I get the following error on my local development server when I try to run the server:

ImportError: No module named tiny-mce

Here are the steps I took to install django-tinymce:

1. Installed the app to the virtual env of my project.

   pip install django-tinymce
   

2. I confirmed the above installation by running pip freeze (django-tinymce==2.2.0).

3. I then added 'tinymce', to my INSTALLED_APPS

4. I then added (r'^tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')), to my urls.

5. I then added the tinymce js file to my plugins and made a reference to that file on my base.html file:

   <script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}plugins/tinymce/tinymce.min.js"></script>

I have added the following code to my settings.py file:

TINYMCE_JS_URL = os.path.join(STATIC_URL, 'plugins/tinymce/tinymce.min.js')
TINYMCE_DEFAULT_CONFIG = {
    'plugins' :'table, spellchecker, paste, searchreplace',
    'theme' : "advanced",
    'cleanup_on_startup ':True ,
    'custom_undo_redo_levels':10 ,
}
TINYMCE_SPELLCHECKER = True
TINYMCE_COMPRESSOR = True

I have double checked that I have correctly installed the django-tinymce to the correct virtual environment.

I have searched Google and SO, but I am stumped at how to solve the error I have, when I try to run my local development server:

ImportError: No module named tiny-mce

EDIT

Here is the form code:

from tinymce.widgets import TinyMCE
....
class SummaryDetailsForm(forms.ModelForm):

    required_css_class = 'required'

    def __init__(self, available_languages, language_preference, *args, **kwargs):
        """
        available_languages should be a valid choices list
        """
        super(SummaryDetailsForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['language_code'] = forms.ChoiceField(choices=available_languages, initial=language_preference, label=_('Language'),)
        summary_details = forms.CharField(widget=TinyMCE(attrs={'cols': 80, 'rows': 30}))

    class Meta:
        model = SummaryDetails

Here is the full traceback:

Answer 1

Looks like you added 'tiny-mce' instead of 'tinymce' to your INSTALLED_APPS.
