in Vscode, RuntimeError: 'path' must be None or a list, not <class '_frozen_importlib_external._NamespacePath'>
Question:
I use Ubuntu and Vscode. In my Django project, I’ve tried to run python manage.py process_tasks
command and I got this error below.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 21, in <module>

File "manage.py", line 17, in main

How can I fix this?
Answers:
It looks like you are missing an __init__.py
file somewhere in your project; looks like a tasks
directory is probably the culprit.
Ran into this issue as well.
Turns out one of the Folder directories in my Django project did not have the init.py file that changes the folder into a package.
This causes the error to be thrown. Solution: go through each folder and manually check if the file was there.
