I’m trying to import a model from one app to another and i get this error:
ImportError: cannot import name 'Readinglist' from partially initialized module 'padonak_app.models' (most likely due to a circular import)
I’m sure there is no circular import .
Any idea how to fix this?
Please help
Trust the error message.
Work from the assumption that somewhere you have a circular import situation. (The circular import does not necessarily need to include Readinglist as the model involved in that situation.)
Otherwise, we’d need to see all your models.py files.

These are the only two models in my project.
And yes, you have a circular reference.
In members.models you have:
from padonak_app.models import Readinglist
and in padonak_app.models you have:
from members.models import Profile
Neither of these files can be imported without the other already having been imported.
