I'm willing to bet that if you look at your INSTALLED_APPS setting,
you will find:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'myproject.sites'
)
or something very similar.
The problem here is that you have multiple applications with the same
name ('sites'). The full python path is used to find applications, but
only the last name on the dot-path is used to identify the
application. The validation errors you are seeing are the result of
that clash.
There are two trivial solutions:
1) Rename your application, or not
2) Remove django.contrib.sites (it's an optional applicaiton, so you
may not need to use it).
This should be raised as a bug - the fact that Django doesn't identify
that there are multiple applications with the same name is misleading,
and would be easy to rectify.
The long term solution is to find a way to do the equivalent of 'from
foo import bar as whiz'. This has been suggested previously; I believe
the sticking point has been finding a syntax that is backwards
compatible, but also elegant and intuitive.
