OK. I've partially sorted this. It was a problem with the settings where
I'd wrongly assumed that BASE_DIR meant the project's root directory. I've
tidied up the settings preparatory to deploying to production etc here
<https://github.com/cccs-web/mayan-edms/tree/master/mayan/settings>.
I can now './manage.py shell' and import all the modules OK which is good
progress. I still have a bizarre import issue though:
If I run syncdb, I get "django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured:
ImportError installation: cannot import name Installation"
[To make things easier with my IDE etc. I've also added mayan/mayan/apps to
the virtual env path]
In the 'django syncdb' call the error appears like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):

If I run 'django shell' I can execute the command 'from installation import
Installation' without a problem.
I'm investigating this but would love to know if you have any ideas.
