I'm following the tutorial given in the Django official website (Django v1.9 and python3). For executing the test in polls\tests.py the import to polls.test is failing.

E:\Django official tutorial\mysite>python manage.py test polls
Creating test database for alias 'default'...

ERROR: polls.tests (unittest.loader._FailedTest)

ImportError: Failed to import test module: polls.tests

Request help in resolving this issue.

is there `__init__.py` in your `polls` folder? – yedpodtrzitko Mar 02 '16 at 14:59
@yedpodtrzitko Yes. There is `__init__.py` in `polls` folder. – Rajasi Kulkarni Mar 02 '16 at 15:06

Do you have syntax errors in `polls.test`? – ilse2005 Mar 02 '16 at 15:10

Is there an `__init__.py` in your `E:\Django official tutorial\mysite` directory? If there is, you should remove it. [See this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21069880/running-django-tutorial-tests-fail-no-module-named-polls-tests) for more info. – Alasdair Mar 02 '16 at 15:15
@Alasdair verified that there in no '__init__.py' in the directory same as `manage.py`. – Rajasi Kulkarni Mar 02 '16 at 15:15
@ilse2005 there are no systax errors in polls.tests . Verified by checking the module. – Rajasi Kulkarni Mar 02 '16 at 15:16
Not sure if that's the case, but any blank spaces in your project path could lead to exceptions. Try renaming `Django official tutorial` to something else – 4140tm Mar 02 '16 at 15:18
@4140tm Tried changing the name of folder 'Django official tutorial' . Yet same issue :( – Rajasi Kulkarni Mar 02 '16 at 15:29
My bad. It was `polls\tests.py` that was failing to import a module. `manage.py` can run the unit tests now. – Rajasi Kulkarni Mar 02 '16 at 15:54
