cannot import name migrations

[philippeowagner]

With Django==1.4.16 and django-cms==2.4.3 I got the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/www/exmple.com/www/lib/python2.7/site-packages/south/migration/base.py", line 302, in migration
    migration = __import__(full_name, {}, {}, ['Migration'])
  File "//var/www/exmple.com/www/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cmsplugin_contact_plus/migrations/0001_initial.py", line 4, in <module>
    from django.db import models, migrations
ImportError: cannot import name migrations

There is a note in the README but this should work anyway.

Affected cmsplugin-contact-plus version: 1.1.13

looks like south is trying to use the django migrations.
This issue is described in the django ducumentation and the south release notes

I suggest to create an south_migrations directory and add an empty __init__.py.

[walterrenner]

if you won't or can't update south to v1.0 you can try the second option

If your users are stubborn and refuse to upgrade South, they may instead change the SOUTH_MIGRATION_MODULES setting for your app to point to the new south_migrations directory.

for cmsplugin_contact_plus this would be:

SOUTH_MIGRATION_MODULES = {
    'cmsplugin_contact_plus': 'ignore',  # south migrations not supported by cmsplugin_contact_plus
}
