ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'djangoproject'

It should just run with no error and run the server.

  • did you rename your project? Commented Aug 14, 2019 at 21:25
  • Actually it created a folder named djangoproject, and inside it was manage.py and another folder called djangoproject.I just made it so there is a single djangoproject with all the files in it + manage.py. Commented Aug 14, 2019 at 21:29

    Did you move the contents from the second "djangoproject" folder to the same level as "manage.py"? If you did then you broke the file structure. Commented Aug 14, 2019 at 21:33

Your Django file structure should look like this:

djangoproject/
    manage.py
    djangoproject/
        __init__.py
        settings.py
        urls.py
        wsgi.py

__init__.py tells Python to treat the parent directory as a module. 

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'djangoproject'

By rearranging the folder structure, you've stopped Python from treating that folder as a module. Manage.py needs that module to perform its operations.
