I created a Django project inside of api folder called bucks:

api
|____ categories/|____ __init__.py|____ ...|____ models.py|____ tests.py|____ views.py
|____ .../
|____ bucks/
|____ users/|____ __init__.py|____ ...|____ models.py|____ signals.py|____ tests.py|____ views.py
|____ __init__.py
|____ manage.py
webroot
|___ ...

And in my bucks folder inside the api, I am doing the following:

from api.users.views import CustomObtainAuthToken

But I am facing an error when I run makemigrations:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'api'

I also tried to add users.app.UsersConfig in my INTALLED_APPS, but then, this error:

django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet.

So I am in this impass. I couldn't find another way to import CustomObtainAuthToken, it'd only allow me to access it through that syntax.

check your settings file if the name of the app is correct or not
