Import File in django

Question

Here"s an Error I have and I can't solve:

Cannot import name "File" from 'uploadapp.models'

The code below makes it better to understand.

Thanks in advance for your help.

from django.db import models
from .models import File

class File(models.Model):
    file = models.FileField(blank=False, null=False)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.file.name

Look at the second import of your file. What are you importing exactly? — Manuel Fedele

Please update your answer with your code, instead of attaching image. Few issues are it decreases readability, we can't copy paste from image, etc. — Umair Mohammad

Welcome to SO! First of all, don't put images of code in your question, just copy&paste your code here, using proper formatting. Please read How to Ask to learn how to. Second: you can't import File inside the file where you define it. Remove the from .models import File. — dirkgroten

Circular dependency

You're trying to import File from models.py in models.py file.
