It depends on how your project files are structured. If you have a file
structure that looks like this:
app/
__init__.py
models.py
views.py
urls.py
Then, you can simply use relative imports.
In views.py:
from models import *
In urls.py:
from views import *
If, for example, your models live in a separate Django app (i.e. a separate
Python package):
app1/
__init__.py
views.py
urls.py
app2/
__init__.py
models.py
Then, you have to import your models using its full path so Python will
know where to look for it.
In app1/views.py:
from app2.models import *
You should familiarize yourself on how Python imports work since this is
more of a Python issue rather than a Django issue.
