Q: 

Debugging cryptic "Error: cannot import name <Name>" on Django

Sometimes when I run manage.py I get a cryptic message in red that says Error: cannot import name <Name> and nothing else.

Obviously, this is a simple import or syntax error and with a little looking around, I can usually fix it. Other times however it takes me quite a while to figure out what exactly I did wrong. Is there a way to get Django to spit out more info in this situation?
