moving django project to google app engine

Question

I am trying to move a django project to google appengine. So I followed http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/django.html . But

django.dispatch.dispatcher.connect(
    log_exception, django.core.signals.got_request_exception)

django.dispatch.dispatcher.disconnect(
    django.db._rollback_on_exception,
    django.core.signals.got_request_exception)

was giving me error saying can't find dispatcher.connect/dispatcher.disconnect . So I changed the code as

django.dispatch.dispatcher.Signal.connect(
    log_exception, django.core.signals.got_request_exception)

But now , when I am running the application , I am getting following error

*File "C:\Program Files\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\tools\dev_appserver.py", line 2208, in ExecuteOrImportScript exec module_code in script_module.dict File "C:\Personal\Study\Python\twtApp\src\main.py", line 23, in import django.dispatch.dispatcher.Signal ImportError: No module named Signal*

As it's said the google article , I have copied django folders to top level folder of my projects .

Is there anything I am missing ?

Pls help ..

Your issue lies in Python being unable to import the Signal module. Make sure it's properly in your path, and that it isn't somehow missing from your Django install.

I would strongly recommend that you use the google-app-engine-django project instead. You'll have a lot more luck.
