ImportError: Unable to import name 'StringType'
I took the sample code that was made in version 1.8.4 of django and like Python 2.7 when it is ported to 3 python everybody flew by and generated an error like this, how to fix it?
\lib\site-packages\config.py", line 91, in <module>
from types import StringType, UnicodeType
ImportError: cannot import name 'StringType'
one piece of code that uses stringtype (config.py) (in site packages)
def writeValue(self, value, stream, indent):
if isinstance(self, Mapping):
indstr = ' '
else:
indstr = indent * ' '
if isinstance(value, Reference) or isinstance(value, Expression):
stream.write('%s%r%s' % (indstr, value, NEWLINE))
else:
if (type(value) is StringType): # and not isWord(value):
value = repr(value)
stream.write('%s%s%s' % (indstr, value, NEWLINE))

Python3 doesn't StringType
.
Try this instead:
from types import *
x=type('String')
To check the usage type of an object:
type(x) is str
which gives: True
in this case.
Also change the code suggested in the comments on iFlo: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/pyporting.html
