Django - ImportError: cannot import name

Question

I am having problem with 1 error, I installed all apps on Django 1.6.2 and Django 1.5.5 and having the same problem.

My settings are:

Django 1.5.5

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    'django.contrib.admin',
    # Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentation:
    # 'django.contrib.admindocs',
    'polib',
    'easymode',
    'localeurl',
    'rosetta',
    'efc',
)

Django 1.6.2

INSTALLED_APPS += (
    "polib",
    "easymode",
    "localeurl",
    "rosetta",
    "efc",
)

And here is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/home/efc/lib/python2.7/easymode/utils/polibext.py", line 11, in <module>
    from rosetta import polib
ImportError: cannot import name polib

The last line in the 'polibext.py' line 11 is:

if 'rosetta' in settings.INSTALLED_APPS:
    from rosetta import polib
else:
    try:
        import polib
    except ImportError:
        raise ImproperlyConfigured(
            """
            Please install either django-rosetta: 
            http://code.google.com/p/django-rosetta/
            or polib:
            http://bitbucket.org/izi/polib/src/
            otherwise easymode.utils.polibext won't work"""
        )

I installed both. Still having the error.

Can you please help?

Thanks

UPDATE:

As rentgeeen has found out, the problem was with django-rosetta 0.7.4 version. See his comment below.

Looks like you don't have django-rosetta installed. Run

pip install django-rosetta

from the console. That should install django-rosetta and it's dependedcies (six, requests and polib).

In the remote chance that you have django-rosetta installed, but not polib, run

pip install polib

As a sidenote, you might wanna look into virtualenv tutorials (for Webfaction or otherwise: http://michal.karzynski.pl/blog/2013/09/14/django-in-virtualenv-on-webfactions-apache-with-mod-wsgi/) If you plan on having several python projects on your account, I'd strongly advise it.
