Cannot import name UploadDocumentForm

Question

I think this is a pretty common mistake, should be a problem with circular imports. But I can't find the actual problem here and I get an error on line 3 views.py

I followed this tutorial: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/http/file-uploads/

forms.py

from django import forms

class UploadDocumentForm(forms.Form):
file = forms.FileField(label='Select a file',
help_text='*.odt only')

views.py

from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from .forms import UploadDocumentForm

# Create your views here.

def upload_document(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
    form = UploadDocumentForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
    if form.is_valid():
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/success/url/')
else:
    form = UploadDocumentForm()
return render_to_response('upload.html', {'form': form})

Thank you for you help!

Answer 1

I changed the name from UploadDocumentForm to UploadFileForm, which somehow solved the problem.
