Import error when running google app engine django project through pycharm

Question

I am writing a django (1.5) app for google app engine. When I run the app engine server (through pycharm) I get a django import error saying "No module named oauth2client.django_orm". I have installed and successfully worked with the google python api client before, so I know everything should work and is included in my python path to the best of my knowledge. Additionally if run the django console (through pycharm) and type in "import oauth2client" it works. So my only idea is that maybe the dev server doesn't have permissions to access the module? I am totally lost can anyone help plzzzz.

Here are the contents of the error page:

UPDATE: If I open up a terminal and start the app with the django's runserver (python manage.py runserver) the module loads fine. So there has to be a permissions issue of some sort either with Pycharm or Google's dev server (which is started via Pycharm).

Answer 1

check this link to verify if you properly configured everything well.

I think there is a problem of a missing module. Either it has not been imported or it is wrong spelled.

Answer 2

You need to download the google api client for GAE google-python-api-client-gae-x.x.zip (https://code.google.com/p/google-api-python-client/downloads/list). Then unzip the folder and add each library you want to the root of your app engine project.
