ImportError and Django make me crazy

Question

OK, I have the following directory structure (this is a django project):

-> project
-> app

and in the application folder there is a scraper.py file, which should refer to the class defined in models.py

I am trying to do the following:

import urllib2
import os
import sys
import time
import datetime
import re
import BeautifulSoup

sys.path.append('/home/userspace/Development/')
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'project.settings'

from project.app.models import ClassName

and this code just doesn't work. I get an error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "scraper.py", line 14, in 
    from project.app.models import ClassName
ImportError: No module named project.app.models

This code above was used, but it broke somewhere along the line, and I am very confused why I have problems. On SnowLeopard using python2.5.

Answer 1

import sys
sys.path.append ('/path/to/the/project')
from django.core.management import setup_environ
import settings
setup_environ(settings)

from app.models import MyModel
