[Newbie] Good evening, I'm a newbie using python I just created a project in Django and I want to save a basic record as the first and last name of an employee. I created a "seed.py" file within my "employee" application that should create a new record in the database with the employee's first and last name.

I'm instantiating my "Seed" object inside "manage.py" which would be the main class, every time I start my application, the seed.py code has to be executed, but it gives me an error when trying to execute the code.

"An exception occurred: ImportError relative import attempt without a known parent package File "C: \ GitHub \ django \ backend \ api \ manage.py", line 5, in from .employee.seed import Seed

django project (folder) C: \ GitHub \ django \ backend \ api \

django app (folder) C: \ GitHub \ django \ backend \ api \ employee

What am I doing wrong?
