I am trying to run a Django project on my windows machine. I am getting nomodulefounderror. The project consists of multiple settings files for prod, Development, and Test. I am using a virtual environment, Python 2.7 and Django 1.10 versions I need help to run this project on my local machine.

Python manage.py runserver --settings=settings_dev_sai

It throws me an error. Here is my error log

     python manage.py runserver --settings=bg.settings.settings_dev_sai

i think that you just need run it

python manage.py runserver --settings=bridge.settings_dev_sai

because bridge.settings is a file not a package

Hi @Cauane. I tried running python manage.py runserver. It threw me `ImportError: no module named settings_dev_sai`. I don't know why I am getting this error – chaitanya orakala May 19 '20 at 01:08

It seems your project dir name is 'bg', so I think while importing modules you should do

from bg import settings_dev_sai

or

from bg.settings_dev_sai import *

also make sure settings_dev_sai is in same dir 'bg'

I think i need to answer my question, The problem of nomodulefounderror, due to incomplete data in my Postgres database. I had dumped .sql file into the Postgres database which was given by my manager and later configured the settings file according to the database name and run command python manage.py runserver --settings=bg.settings_dev_sai. It worked perfectly.
