✅

Never hardocde the directory paths in settings files. Let Python generate the absolute path names for you. This makes your project portable across different environments. Below is a good approach to define paths (and may be solve your issue also):

import os, sys

abspath = lambda *p: os.path.abspath(os.path.join(*p))

PROJECT_ROOT = abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
sys.path.insert(0, PROJECT_ROOT)

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    abspath(PROJECT_ROOT, 'templates'),
)
