Django: ImportError: cannot import name 'User'
<p>I'm new to django and I'm facing some difficulties in creating a user from the AbstractBaseUser model. Now I'm starting wondering if my user model is not being build in the right way. This is my User model</p>

<pre><code>from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser

class User(AbstractBaseUser):
    '''
    Custom user class.
    '''
    username = models.CharField('username', max_length=10, unique=True, db_index=True)
    email = models.EmailField('email address', unique=True)
    joined = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
</code></pre>

<p>and user is only referenced in this other model</p>

<pre><code>from django.db import models
from user_profile import User

class Tweet(models.Model):
    '''
    Tweet model
    '''
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    text = models.CharField(max_length=160)
    created_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    country = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
</code></pre>

<p>then when I try to migrate my new model into db</p>

<p>I'm using django 1.10.1 on ubuntu 16.04 with python3.5 and mysql as database.</p>

<p>You didn't import from right package.</p>

<p>Use:</p>

<pre><code>from user_profile.models import User
</code></pre>

python django django-models model django-users
