Okay, I'm guessing a Python reload would indeed help, as I've managed to get the Python debugger to find mysite.drpack.views by forcing the paths into sys.path: >>> sys.path.append('/my/new/path') ...rather than via the symlink method. Seems like this doesn't alter the sys.path permanently, though, as the paths I append evaporate a bit later when I leave IDLE & re-check sys.path....? NOW, the problem is I'm getting: EnvironmentError: Environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined (more fully: from mysite.drpack.models import PubMedSummary File "/home/jason/killdjangokill/mysite/../mysite/drpack/ models.py", line 1, in <module> from django.db import models #so the module's importing okay when I append it to the sys.path File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/db/ __init__.py", line 10, in <module> if not settings.DATABASE_ENGINE: #but django.db is failing to import the settings.py, also on sys.path?
