Line 5 of django.core.files.storage looks like this: from django.conf import settings That means that your settings module imports Storage, which in turn imports settings. This is known as a circular import, which is never a good thing. So, yes, you're doing something wrong, because that shouldn't work. Now, the real question is: why are you trying to import Storage in your settings.py? What is it you're trying to accomplish? You're certainly using the wrong approach at the moment, but I can't recommend anything else without knowing what you're trying to do. -Gul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
