I am trying to use geemap in combination with django to build a web app for plotting satellite data. I have installed the geemap package in my django project. My projects name is CustomMaps, and the directory structure is as below. enter image description here
The code for my CustomMaps.urls.py is as below
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.conf.urls import include, url
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('plotmap/', include('PlotMap.urls')),
]
The code for my PlotMap.urls.py is as follows
from django.urls import path
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from .views import hello
urlpatterns = [
path('hello/', hello, name = 'hello'),
]
And my PlotMap.views.py is as follows
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render
import geemap as gm
#import pandas as pd
def hello(request):
map = gm.Map()
return render(request, "PlotMap/hello.html", { "m" : map})
But I am getting the following error on running the project
Exception in thread django-main-thread:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Internship\Django App\MyProject\lib\site-packages\django\urls\resolvers.py",
line 604, in url_patterns
iter(patterns)
TypeError: 'module' object is not iterable
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: The included URLconf 'CustomMaps.urls' does not appear to have any patterns in it. If you see valid patterns in the file then the issue is probably caused by a circular import.
But if I run same code after changing my views.py like below it works perfectly fine.
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render
#import geemap as gm
#import pandas as pd
def hello(request):
#map = gm.Map()
return render(request, "PlotMap/hello.html", { })
I am not able to understand why is my 'import geemap' leading to circular import error in CustomMaps.urls.py. I tried searching for the same, but have not been able to find anything till now. If someone can please help me out then i will be able to proceed with my work soon, Thank You.
Actually, I tried installing a new version of python(3.8) and also downloaded a new version of geemap(0.11.4) which solved the issue.
But, I am still struggling on how to display the instance of geemap.Map() in my django template, any suggestions would be much helpful.
I will post a new question for the same. Here: How to display an instance of geemap.Map() in Django Template
