implementing circular imports in Django when using custom user model
I'm trying to implement After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out. I've been banging my head against this for hours. I'm working with a circular import behavior when trying to set up a custom user model in Django 4.0. My project structure is as follows: ``` myproject/ ├── accounts/ │ ├── models.py │ └── views.py └── myproject/ └── settings.py ``` In `models.py`, I define a custom user model like this: ```python from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser from django.db import models class CustomUser(AbstractUser): bio = models.TextField(blank=True) # other fields... ``` In `views.py`, I have a view function that needs to reference the custom user model: ```python from django.shortcuts import render from .models import CustomUser def profile_view(request): user = request.user context = {'user': user} return render(request, 'profile.html', context) ``` However, when I try to run the server, I get this behavior: ``` ImportError: want to import name 'CustomUser' from 'accounts.models' because of circular import ``` I've tried moving the import statement inside the view function, but that didn’t help. I also made sure to set the `AUTH_USER_MODEL` in `settings.py`: ```python AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'accounts.CustomUser' ``` Despite these attempts, the behavior continues. I'm not sure how to resolve the circular import scenario while still keeping the functionality intact. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on a CLI tool that needs to handle this. What am I doing wrong? What would be the recommended way to handle this?
