Right, I have a module called uniqueid.py in my media app.

I also have the standard models file, in the same media app file.

# models.py

import....
import...
import uniqueid

class NewsArticle(models.Model):
    id = models.CharField(max_length=10, default=uniqueid.media_article_id, editable=False)

In my uniqueid.py file, I have the following:

# uniqueid.py
import random
import string

def media_article_id():
    random_string= ''.join(random.choices(string.digits, k=8))  # Generates a random string
    return f"{random_string}"

What is the reason behind the fact that Python is not seeing the uniqueid.py module? Why am I constantly getting the following, despite correctly importing the module?

  File "C:UsersxxxOneDrive - xxxxxxxmediamodels.py", line 3, in <module>
    import uniqueid
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'uniqueid'
