Can you paste your models file?Christian Oudard
there is no model file. i was just following the tutorial docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/intro/tutorial01 Heading is The Development ServerTarik Setia
@TarikSetia, what django version are you using? First thing coming into my mind is to reinstall django (may be you haven't removed the old django before installing new one..).alecxe
@CppLearner executed python -c "import sys; sys.path = sys.path[1:]; import django; print(django.__path__)" to get path to django. then manual removal. Used PIP to reinstallTarik Setia

I know this is an old question, but I just ran into this same error. Updating Python to v 2.7.5 worked for me.

I got the error when I switched accounts but tried to spin up the same Django project and I had only updated my Python version on the first account.
