Haystack / Whoosh Index Generation Error

Question

I am trying to configure haystack using whoosh. When I try to create an index [or any index command, for that matter], I get:

TypeError: Item in ``from list'' not a string

If I completely delete my search_indexes.py, I get the same error [so I assume that he cannot find this file at all]

what can cause this error? it is set to auto-detect, and I'm sure my application is installed, because I'm using it now.

Full trace:

    app_path = __import__(app, {}, {}, [app.split('.')[-1]]).__path__
TypeError: Item in ``from list'' not a string

and here is my search_indexes.py

from haystack import indexes
from haystack import site
from myproject.models import *

site.register(myobject)
