Hello!
Lately I had a typo in app name in INSTALLED_APPS. What I get from django
when trying to run manage.py shell, test etc. was:
{{{
$ python manage.py shell
Error: No module named name_with_typo
}}}
Like you see this message just suggest, that importing were wrong, because
module is not accessible.
If my module name was really "name_with_typo" I would find it very fast,
but my name was "model", so browsing sources to find the reason was a bit
exhausting.
I start debugger and find that exception was catched here:
{{{
# django/core/management/base.py:205
"""
# Switch to English, because django-admin.py creates database
content
# like permissions, and those shouldn't contain any translations.
# But only do this if we can assume we have a working settings
file,
# because django.utils.translation requires settings.
if self.can_import_settings:
try:
from django.utils import translation
translation.activate('en-us')
except ImportError, e:
# If settings should be available, but aren't,
# raise the error and quit.
sys.stderr.write(self.style.ERROR(str('Error: %s\n' % e)))
sys.exit(1)
}}}
Exception was raised during
{{{
translation.activate('en-us')
}}}
As you see it's not much intuitive...
Why not to make error message more verbose?
It would save our time.
PS.
Such "error handling" is used in many places of Django.
Cheers!
