I have a Django app called sample. I need to check a function inside sample app's views.py file. When I try to import the function , I get an error saying sample.views is not a package. I am trying to import the function like this : from sample.views import samplefunc

What am I doing wrong ? Thanks in advance

What is the name of your base `folder`? or share your project structure. – Anup Yadav Feb 19 '18 at 06:05
My base folder name is djangotemplates.. I have an app inside named sample – Siddharth Singh Feb 19 '18 at 06:19
Can you share your structure? only tree view of folder structure? – Anup Yadav Feb 19 '18 at 06:21
Bro.. I just need to test a views function called samplefunc which is inside the views.py of an app called sample.. I want to test that function using Django unit testing.. Can't that be done in an easier way ? – Siddharth Singh Feb 19 '18 at 06:28
What do I have to import ? Can you tell me that ? – Siddharth Singh Feb 19 '18 at 06:29
It is important to know your folder structure to tell you from what you need to import views file. Also I don't know why you are importing view function generally we can achive this using `self.client.get(reverse('url_name'))` using URL only, which we define in urls.py file – Anup Yadav Feb 19 '18 at 06:29
Can't we import a function from an app's view directly ? – Siddharth Singh Feb 19 '18 at 06:29
