django - Why can't python find my module? -

i'm getting error every time type python manage.py runserver in root server of django app.

importerror: no module named utils

i added new app project called 'utils' running python manage.py startapp utils in root directory of project (/ecomstore/), , moved directory book said put in.

here's overview of project's directories, followed code:

ecomstore/

init.py

manage.py

settings.py

urls.py

views.py

wsgi.py

catalog.py/

init.py

admin.py

forms.py

models.py

utils/

init.py

models.py

context_processors.py

the relevent code settings.py file below:

installed_apps = (     'django.contrib.auth',     'django.contrib.contenttypes',     'django.contrib.sessions',     'django.contrib.sites',     'catalog',     'utils',     # uncomment next line enable admin:     'django.contrib.admin',     # uncomment next line enable admin documentation:     # 'django.contrib.admindocs', ) 

fwiw: have tried putting 'ecomstore.utils' under installed_apps, , moving utils directory root directory of project. book called beginning django ecommerce , it's outdated. in advance help, i'm stuck!

• utils should moved 1 level up, "templates" "ecomstore".
• the init files should named __init__.py, not init.py.
• it unusual have .py-endings directories

i suggest teh django tutorial first if book outdated , after succeed this, try adapt book content learned in tutorial.
