I have models.py and test.py files in my Django app folder.

My project is named strava, app: explorer_api

How do I import a model into 'test.py`?

I have tried:

from strava.explorer_api.models import Activity

from explorer_api.models import Activity

from .models import Activity

from models import Activity

but:

SystemError: Parent module '' not loaded, cannot perform relative
import

The structure:

/

    admin.py

    apps.py

    collector.py

    models.py

    serializers.py

    test.py

    tests.py

    urls.py

    views.py

    __init__.py

    __pycache__/

        0001_initial.cpython-35.pyc

have a look at this Django script to access model objects without using manage.py shell
if strava is your project directory then

greater than or equal to Django 1.9-1.10

import sys, os, django    

sys.path.append('full_path_to_strava_directory')

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'strava.settings'

django.setup()



from strava.activity.models import Activity

pre Django 1.11

from strava.wsgi import application

Do you have explorer_api inside your INSTALLED_APPS?

Also, leave just one import in tests.py:

from explorer_api.models import Activity
