Name 'Order' is not defined

Question

I have this error

Name 'Order' is not defined

in the following claue:

            try:
                order = Order.objects.from_request(request)
                cart = OrderCart(order)
            except Order.DoesNotExist:
                pass

Order is defined exactly in the same file and is subclass of model.Model

To be more concrete, here is the file I'm working with: https://bitbucket.org/chris1610/satchmo/src/a04c87a539f3/satchmo/apps/satchmo_store/shop/models.py with exception occuring in line 242

Why can this be?

Update:

Here is the traceback:

Answer 1

Maybe I'm just missing something, but you're referring to the Order class in your CartManager before it's defined. Order isn't defined until line 642. I don't know a lot about the inner workings of Django, but I would try moving the Order class up above CartManager and see if it gets you past this error.

Answer 2

For future reference.

I think you forgot to import the Order Class
