[FIXED] Django makemigrations, 'module' object is not iterable

Issue

I'm new to Django and I was trying to use models and migrations, everything works fine until I try to execute the command: python manage.py makemigrations where it raises the error:

TypeError: 'module' object is not iterable

I tried to reinstall Django and create a new venv and change settings on my code editor, basically everything I could find online, yet I'm stuck with this error (full below).

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Emanuele\Desktop\Django_Env\lib\site-packages\django\urls\resolvers.py", line 591, in url_patterns
    iter(patterns)
TypeError: 'module' object is not iterable

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Solution

Try using python manage.py makemigrations (Insert your Django app name)
