ImportError: No module named crispy-forms
Question:
I’m working on some django apps, pretty noob still. Would like to use crispy-forms, but eclipse and django doesnt recognize it.
Trying to runserver or shell:
$ python manage.py runserver
this happens:
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named crispy-forms
This is the forms.py I recently added to the site-folder alongside views.py, and it complains about unresolved import of crispy_forms…:
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from crispy_forms.helper import FormHelper
from crispy_forms.layout import Layout, ButtonHolder, Submit
from wx.lib.pubsub.core import kwargs
class RegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(RegistrationForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.helper = FormHelper()
self.helper.layout = Layout(
'username',
'password1',
'password2',
ButtonHolder(
Submit('register',
'Register',
css_class='btn-prima'
)
)
)
This is my part of my settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'polls',
'crispy-forms',
)
...
CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK = 'bootstrap'
I’m running virtualenv, my venv-dir looks like this:

I accidentally managed to type in:
pip install python
today, and it seems it did. Could that have any impact on it? I mean, isnt it virtualenv’s task to make sure there is no software-conflicts?
Anyway, I cant get any Django-work going now until i figure this out, any help out there?

So, its clear. Django doesn’t even recognize that its installed it. How can that be?? virtualenv says its there, but django cant see it??? wtx…
Answers:
You have to make sure that you install crispy-forms into the virtualenv.
- Activate VirtualEnv (where env is the directory/name of your virtual environment):
source env/bin/activate
- Install crispy-forms
pip install django-crispy-forms
As per the documentation : http://django-crispy-forms.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html#installing-django-crispy-forms, you have to add ‘crispy_forms’ not ‘crispy-forms’ to your Installed Apps list.
Ok, so I found by chance(almost) another post, this one: Getting stuck at Django error: No module named registration
and thought it might have something to do with pythonpath.
so then I tried easy_install, like suggested:
$ easy_install -Z django-crispy-forms
Searching for django-crispy-forms
Best match: django-crispy-forms 1.4.0
Adding django-crispy-forms 1.4.0 to easy-install.pth file
Using /home/nr1/Envs/abc/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Processing dependencies for django-crispy-forms
Finished processing dependencies for django-crispy-forms
Now it works!
I still think there might be something missing with the pythonpath, because I keep getting this in eclipse:
SignUpView Found at: __module_not_in_the_pythonpath__
, and I would like someone to clarify it, so feel free to contribute here…
but django and crispy_forms now works together. YippikayeyMF!!
I use PyCharm for my Django projects. I get exactly the same error as you but in PyCharm until I change the Python interpreter used by PyCharm for the project. I have to, for each project, select the Python interpreter that resides in the relevant virtalenv folder to get the IDE (PyCharm) to recognize the installed modules. I suspect that the Pythonpath lurks somewhere in the background…
Doesn’t Eclipse allow you to select the interpreter to use for a project? That’s where I’d start looking.
Good luck!
I came across the same problem and figured out an alternate way around.
- Exit Virtualenv.
- Do a fresh pip install of crispy form at the root directory.
- Go back to Virtualenv and make migrations followed by migrate.
I think the django installation needs that all third party app be installed inside and as well outside the virtual env.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me with inside details behind the reason.
All the above answers are missing one thing. Please cross check the location of your ‘External Libraries’ on the drive first before you do any of the above advises.
Reason:
– You be using an IDE that points to a different python directory, that is for guys who have install python more than once.
- don’t think your ‘virtualenv’ is pointing to the right directory were your ‘External Libraries’ are stored. So if you go ahead and install in a wrong directory then such error will ok
I solved this problem right now, I realized that the crispy-form installed version was the python 2.7 version, but I’m using Django-1.10 with Python 3.5, and I think this is your problem too.
Try: pip3 install --user django-crispy-forms
Your django project is looking for crispy forms module.There is a possibility that it was not installed earlier possibly due to different versions.
If you are using a virtual environment i recommend that after activating your virtual environment you need to install django -crispy-forms.
To install it use command:
pip install django-crispy-forms
I was using crispy-forms instead of crispy_forms in settings.py
Following is the overview of things to be done to get crispy forms working:
pip install django-crispy-forms
in settings.py installed apps add crispy_forms
In settings.py add CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK = 'bootstrap4'
change crispy-forms to crispy_forms in the installed apps of settings.py
After activating your virtual environment, assuming you are using python version 3, try:
python3 -m pip install django-crispy-forms
I had this same error and all I had to do was runserver using
python3 manage.py runserver. I’m not sure how it works but I think some modules need you to explicitly call python3 and not just the alias.
I just solved this problem, couldn’t find the solution anywhere though.
This error shows if you haven’t configured the crispy-forms correctly, and do check the version you are using.
Another one that worked for me- I configured everything perfect, But didn’t noticed some minor issues with the project and the app I configured.
Go through the whole process again and everything will be good to go.
For me , I just had to update the python version and it solved the problem. I was using python 3.9 , but then I uninstalled it and installed python 3.10 and also installed the latest version of django after uninstalling the previous version.
Note : don’t forget to change your environment variables after making the changes!
After pip installed the crispy-forms library, added crispy_forms in the installed_apps. The issue for me was at the forms.py, my VScode editor does not recognized the crispy_forms.helper. Solution – I just close my Editor and then open again and now its recognized.
This helped me. Try to use pipenv as a development environment.
-
Install pipenv via pip
pip3 install --user pipenv
-
Install packages you need
pipenv install django-crispy-forms
-
Run pipenv shell
pipenv shell
-
Run your server
pipenv run python3 manage.py runserver

SignUpView Found at: __module_not_in_the_pythonpath__
, and I would like someone to clarify it, so feel free to contribute here…
but django and crispy_forms now works together. YippikayeyMF!!
I use PyCharm for my Django projects. I get exactly the same error as you but in PyCharm until I change the Python interpreter used by PyCharm for the project. I have to, for each project, select the Python interpreter that resides in the relevant virtalenv folder to get the IDE (PyCharm) to recognize the installed modules. I suspect that the Pythonpath lurks somewhere in the background…
Doesn’t Eclipse allow you to select the interpreter to use for a project? That’s where I’d start looking.
Good luck!
I came across the same problem and figured out an alternate way around.
- Exit Virtualenv.
- Do a fresh pip install of crispy form at the root directory.
- Go back to Virtualenv and make migrations followed by migrate.
I think the django installation needs that all third party app be installed inside and as well outside the virtual env.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me with inside details behind the reason.
All the above answers are missing one thing. Please cross check the location of your ‘External Libraries’ on the drive first before you do any of the above advises.
Reason:
– You be using an IDE that points to a different python directory, that is for guys who have install python more than once.
- don’t think your ‘virtualenv’ is pointing to the right directory were your ‘External Libraries’ are stored. So if you go ahead and install in a wrong directory then such error will ok
I solved this problem right now, I realized that the crispy-form installed version was the python 2.7 version, but I’m using Django-1.10 with Python 3.5, and I think this is your problem too.
Try: pip3 install --user django-crispy-forms
Your django project is looking for crispy forms module.There is a possibility that it was not installed earlier possibly due to different versions.
If you are using a virtual environment i recommend that after activating your virtual environment you need to install django -crispy-forms.
To install it use command:
pip install django-crispy-forms
I was using crispy-forms instead of crispy_forms in settings.py
Following is the overview of things to be done to get crispy forms working:
pip install django-crispy-forms
in settings.py installed apps add crispy_forms
In settings.py add CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK = 'bootstrap4'
change crispy-forms to crispy_forms in the installed apps of settings.py
After activating your virtual environment, assuming you are using python version 3, try:
python3 -m pip install django-crispy-forms
I had this same error and all I had to do was runserver using
python3 manage.py runserver. I’m not sure how it works but I think some modules need you to explicitly call python3 and not just the alias.
I just solved this problem, couldn’t find the solution anywhere though.
This error shows if you haven’t configured the crispy-forms correctly, and do check the version you are using.
Another one that worked for me- I configured everything perfect, But didn’t noticed some minor issues with the project and the app I configured.
Go through the whole process again and everything will be good to go.
For me , I just had to update the python version and it solved the problem. I was using python 3.9 , but then I uninstalled it and installed python 3.10 and also installed the latest version of django after uninstalling the previous version.
Note : don’t forget to change your environment variables after making the changes!
After pip installed the crispy-forms library, added crispy_forms in the installed_apps. The issue for me was at the forms.py, my VScode editor does not recognized the crispy_forms.helper. Solution – I just close my Editor and then open again and now its recognized.
This helped me. Try to use pipenv as a development environment.
