[Answer]-Python GUI wont import + SQlite ENGINE

✅

Try using python manage.py shell to open the python shell.

Usually the settings.py file reside inside the project root directory, so in order to import the PROJECT_ROOT variable, you can use from project_name.settings import PROJECT_ROOT

[EDIT]

To use the sqlite engine, change the DATABASES dictionary to:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, '/project_database/db_name.sqlite3'),
    }
}

There’s no stress. Like a tip, see this Adding Python Path on Windows 7 question to add the python files to the win path variable, this help you to avoid to put your projects inside c:PythonXX, and use another directory instead.

I’ve take a look at the linked github project, and it seems to explain inside the README file that you must add a SECRET_KEY and a DATA_DIR variables.

Here’s a workaround I’ve done to get work that project:

$ git clone https://github.com/lukerosiak/pysec.git
$ cd pysec
$ ls # the dir command when on Windows
README.md
TODO.md
local_settings-example.py
manage.py*
pysec/
requirements.txt
settings.py*
$ cp local_settings-example.py local_settings.py

Edit the local_settings.py file and modify the SECRET_KEY and DATA_DIR variables:

SECRET_KEY = '@r65u-33&#2v3vu-e^h-%u4kg=g9y5z'
DATA_DIR = '/home/slacker/pysec/project_database' # or something like: C:\\users\tosh\pysec\

project_database
Run:

$ python manage.py syncdb

I hope it can help!
