HI Dan,
Thanks for your response but that will not solve my problem.
I am not splitting models. I am splitting actions defined in the
models across multiple files.
So suppose
one of my model actions is calling which in turn calls the constructor
or simple functions defined in normal python files
for ex:
def action (self, request, queryset):
Test1(<params>) //calls default constructor of the class
Test2(<params>)
Now each of these are separate class files names as Test1.py Test2.py.
In each of these files i want to do this
from <project_name>.<app name>.models import <class name>
But I get this error
ImportError: cannot import name <class name>
I tired various other variotions like just
from models import <class name>
from <app name>.models import <class name>
or without from
but none of them are working.
Also, in order to call this Test1(<params>) I thought if I import
Test1 in models then it will just work but again not
