You should do this the other way round. Keep the signal definition - the `send_creation` function itself - in signals.py, but don't import Gallery there. Instead, in gallery/models.py, import the *signal*: from signals.signals import send_creation - and then do the registering at the bottom of that file. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
