I have a hierarchy of apps with different nesting levels:
{{{
├── apps
│ ├── accounts
│ ├── core
│ ├── modules
│ │ ├── companies
│ │ └── products
}}}
I'm encountering a weird behavior where importing multi dotted apps is
raising an `ImportError` exception:
{{{
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./manage.py", line 12, in <module>

packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 338, in

File "/home/aziz/projects/officeman/django/apps/accounts/models.py",
line 8, in <module>
from apps.modules.companies.models import Company
ImportError: No module named modules.companies.models
}}}
Running python interpreter, I'm able to import all the different packages
at all levels:
{{{
>>> from apps.modules import companies
>>> companies
<module 'apps.modules.companies' from
'apps/modules/companies/__init__.pyc'>
>>>
>>> from apps import modules
>>> modules
<module 'apps.modules' from 'apps/modules/__init__.pyc'>
>>>
>>> import apps
>>> apps
<module 'apps' from 'apps/__init__.pyc'>
}}}
The only reason I'm suspecting this to be a bug is the fact that python
can import all the packages while Django can't. All apps imported fine in
Django before I nested a group of them under `modules`.
