Why won't the Django debug server start?

Question

Django

I created a new django project in a new virtual environment, I try to start the debug server
python manage.py runserver
and I get this:

Traceback

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'testtinymce'

Swears at the absence of the testtinymce module, I have never installed this. Out of curiosity, I reinstalled python, deleted the pipa cache, tried to recreate the django project. No changes. What is it and how to fix it?

Answer 1

I did find what was the issue. The registry contained the DJANGO.Setting key, which pointed to the testtinymce application settings file. Removed the key, everything worked.
