Django + Satchmo: ImportError: cannot import name ImageField

Posted on 10th August 2008 by Kenneth

I’m experimenting with Django for Dots Shop.  Satchmo seems to be the thing to use.

But it’s a real pain to install.  I keep getting the error:
ImportError: cannot import name ImageField

No-one on the Internet has mentioned this.  The only way I found to fix it was to search+replace in the Satchmo project for: 

from django.db.models.fields import ImageField

and replace with

from django.db.models.fields.files import ImageField

Four occurences.

I’m using SVN Django (a2), and Satchmo 0.7.

    Thanks a bunch, too! I noticed they fixed this in the “multi-shop” branch, so hopefully this gets updated in trunk soon, too!

    Any idea what version of django they removed Imagefield from django.db.models.fields? Cause we were having the same problem upgrading http://www.gamernook.com and didnt want to go through all the files to update the references
