I am trying to reference a model (Person) from one app, in the views-file of another app. Unfortunately, I get an "unresolved reference"-error. Is it possible to reference models from other apps in Django? If so, what am I doing wrong?
Let me demonstrate with an example:
The image below shows my project. I am currently in the views.py (marked in green), in the app called "autocomplete". I want to reference a person-model in the file "models.py" (marked in red), that belongs to the app "resultregistration". However, I get the error "Unresolved reference Person", even though the class Person does exist in models.py
The file settings.py is in the athlitikos/athlitikos - folder, and manage.py is in only athlitikos (as seen in the image below)
Any help would be strongly appreciated!
Edit: I now tried running "from ..resultregistration.models import Person", because I saw that what I did in the screenshot was obviously wrong. However, then I get the error message " attempted relative import beyond top-level package"
Thank you for your time!

To do this, create a directory called /«project»/«app_name»/models , inside it put __init__.py (to declare it as a module) and then create your files inside there. You then need to import your file contents into the module in __init__.py . You should read about Python modules to understand this.
If the resultregistration app is in the project directory (the one containing manage.py) then you shouldn't include the project name athlitikos in the import at all. Try the following:
from resultregistration.models import Person
