Upgrading to Django 1.8 causes "cannot import VERSION" errror

[davidstockwell]

Hi,

Firstly, I apologise because I'm not sure what the cause of this error was, or if it relates to the source of django-suit but when I upgraded to Django 1.8, I got an error when loading the admin site. It complained that it couldn't import VERSION in config.py:

from . import VERSION

When I removed that import statement and hard-coded the VERSION like this:

def default_config(): return { 'VERSION': "0.2.12",

The error corrected itself.

More weirdly, though, when I reverted my changes to config.py it continued to load the admin page with no errors.

The only other change I made was to add a "print" statement into init.py just under VERSION="0.2.12".

Could it be something silly like a missing carriage return after that line which Python then rejects?

[darklow]

Hard to say. Maybe some weird python byte cache issue too. I just tried, upgraded old project to Django and didn't see such an error. Anyways i will close it for now. If anyone spots the same problem and can give some more details please feel free to reopen this issue.

I have the same problem, even tried removing all pyc files.

'suit_tags' is not a valid tag library: ImportError raised loading suit.templatetags.suit_tags: cannot import name VERSION

Here is my requirements file:

django==1.8.1
django-suit==0.3a1
suit==2.0.2

Same for me, here is some more context:

<ipython-input-7-677842075894> in <module>()
----> 1 from suit.templatetags import suit_tags

/home/titus/envs/dev2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/suit/templatetags/suit_tags.py in <module>()
      6 from django.template.defaulttags import NowNode
      7 from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe
----> 8 from suit.config import get_config
      9 from suit import utils
     10 

/home/titus/envs/dev2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/suit/config.py in <module>()
      1 from django.contrib.admin import ModelAdmin
      2 from django.conf import settings
----> 3 from . import VERSION
      4 
      5 

ImportError: cannot import name VERSION

pip uninstall suit if you have suit installed as well. That was my issue when I ran into the 'suit_tags' is not a valid tag library: ImportError raised loading suit.templatetags.suit_tags: cannot import name VERSION error. suit overwrites config.py, at the very least, which removes the VERSION information that django-suit is looking for.

[bhupendrabjain]

I am getting the same error and if I unintsalled suit I get error "ImportError: No module named suit" . Did anyone resolved it ?

@bhupendrabjain Please post full error stacktrace to https://dpaste.de/ and share it here

@fakira I am willing to help and solve this issue, but there is no way I can replicate this error. Maybe somebody can set up sample project and push code to github repository along with requirements.txt file. Thank you.

[vintage]

It's a bit late, but I've just hit the same issue. The solution provided by @rlacherksu worked, it just should be pip uninstall django-suit not pip uninstall suit (but I guess everyone should handle this typo by themselves).

[alexmojaki]

I had a problem like this, it was fixed when I upgraded from 0.2.12 to 0.2.23.

[SatinderpalSingh]

pip install django-suit helps to solve my error with Django 2.0 as i had not installed it.

[Hudeh]

hello, i got this error when trying to runserver after installing django suit and requirement in the setting.py

django.template.library.InvalidTemplateLibrary: Invalid template library specified. ImportError raised when trying to load 'suit.templatetags.suit_menu': No module named 'django.core.urlresolvers'

hii i having same error can you plz help me

[wizzzet]

You've maybe installed wrong package suit which writes package files into the same folder. Please uninstall it: pip uninstall suit uninstall django-suit: pip uninstall django-suit and install django-suit again pip install django-suit
