django-rest-framework + swagger ui: ImportError: No module named rest_framework_swagger

Question

I'm trying to add django-rest-swagger ui to my api, but I'm getting ImportError: No module named rest_framework_swagger even though I've already done pip install django-rest-swagger. I can also see the package installed on my virtualenv through pip list. I've tried python manage.py syncdb as well but doesn't really do anything. Anyone have some suggestions for me? Thanks.

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'rest_framework',
'at_api',
'rest_framework_swagger',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
)

EDIT: Sys path info

>>> import sys
>>> for p in sys.path: print p

Can you give sys.path content ? – Glindaglinka

@KevinBrown Just added it. The django-rest-swagger github repo requirements say Python (2.6.5+, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4), Django (1.5.5+, 1.6, 1.7), Django REST framework (2.3.5+), so perhaps this means drf 3.0.0 does not work? – Brownstone

Latest version of what? My drf is 3.0.0, and my django-rest-swagger is 0.2.2. I think these are already the most up-to-date versions? – Brownstone

@KevinBrown You mean just type in python or python manage.py shell then import rest_framework_bulk? I did that and I just got back ImportError: No module named rest_framework_bulk – Brownstone

@Brownstone My bad, you need to import rest_framework_swagger. My hope is that those tracebacks (if there are any) have some extra details. – Sinister

@KevinBrown No errors for both shells :/ – Brownstone

Oh... I figured it out. My project interpreter wasn't actually set up to my virtualenv with django-rest-swagger installed ╰༼=ಠਊಠ=༽╯ Thanks for sticking with me through this @KevinBrown. – Brownstone

Answer 1

Follow these steps to solve:

1- Make sure your Virtual Environment is activated.

2- install requirements or rest_framework_swagger using pip

    pip install django-rest-swagger

3- in File-> Settings -> Project Interpreter -> : select virtual environment for your project
4- in toolbar -> Edit configurations...-> python Interpreter : select your project virtual environment

Answer 2

Solved it... It was way more simpler than I had imagined. I just checked to see my project's interpreter, and I noticed that it was not using my virtualenv with django-rest-swagger installed.
