ImportError: cannot import name signals
I had the same problem just a minute ago. Investigating I realized the problem was with my settings.py* file.
Check if you are having problems with Django finding your settings file correctly.
This error message is totally non-sense.
* IIRC Django looks for settings.py file, if not found, it looks for environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and try that.
I'm using Django 1.3.0 with Python 2.7.1.
In every test I write the following imports I get the importError above:

from django.utils import unittest
from django.test.client import Client

The full stack trace:

    mod = __import__(modname)

ImportError: cannot import name signals
ERROR: Module: basic_flow could not be imported.

Any ideas why this happening ?
