Your structure and import statement seems fine. Make sure, you have saved your files, and try restarting the server. – darshanc99
Also, have you added your Post model in the admin.py of the posts app? – darshanc99
@DarshanChheda yes ,i have my Post model on admin.py the strange thing here is that from posts.models import Post its working there but not when i import con Comment model – Guillermo Nahuel Varelli
Please provide the code snippet. Might be some very minor unseen issue – darshanc99

If you are also importing comments.models in posts.models, This may happen due to circular import. Try this:

from posts import models as posts_models

and

post = models.ForeignKey(posts_models.Post,on_delete=models.CASCADE,related_name='comments')

Try this, tell me if it helps

from DjangoPost.posts.models import Post

instead of

from posts.models import Post
