Answer 1

You need to add the directory containing the module you're trying to import (fitness.views) to the PYTHONPATH. Put this at the beginning of your module. It adds '../../' to the PYTHONPATH. That is the directory containing the fitness folder, so you can import the module without any problem.

import sys, os
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..', '..')))
from fitness import views
