ImportError: cannot import name signals

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to install askbot in alwaysdata but when I type

python manage.py syncdb

I have the following error

    /usr/local/alwaysdata/python/django/1.4/django/conf/__init__.py:75: DeprecationWarning: The ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX setting has been removed; use STATIC_URL instead.
  "use STATIC_URL instead.", DeprecationWarning)

    from askbot.models import signals
ImportError: cannot import name signals

How I could solve it?

Thanks :)

I would insert a line

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

at the beginning of askbot/models/signals.py, then step with the debugger (start application in the shell then type n into the debugger input).

There must be a failing import inside which is masked by the django application loading code.

The problem is the following import "from askbot.models import signals". So, any Idea about this problem? I use the free account of alwaysdata and I had to load dynamically of the dependencies using sys.path.append().
