Hi Lucy, regarding the resource.py file, have you already copied that from
Arches-HIP to your app? You must do this if you wish to use your own
forms.py file, and you need to update the RESOURCE_MODEL variable in your
settings.py file. Mine is set like this:
RESOURCE_MODEL = {'default':
'{}.models.resource.Resource'.format(PACKAGE_NAME)}
For example
<https://github.com/mradamcox/afrh/blob/master/afrh/settings.py#L36>
Hope that's all you need. In general, you are right to look for a .pyc file
as an indication that the .py file is being used.
