Answer by Jai Narayan for Django Import Error: No module named apps

If you use this command to start an app:

django-admin startapp appexample

...then, the AppexampleConfig class should not be listed in the settings.py file.

Just add the app name (e.g. appexample) in INSTALLED_APPS list. Avoid using: appexample.app.AppexampleConfig.

Usually, the AppexampleConfig class is a subclass of the django.apps.Appconfig class that represents a Django application and its configuration. It just defines the name class attribute and sets its value to Appexample.
