apps.py: Attempted relative import with no known parent package

[shacker]

Attempting to run migrate on a fresh pip install in Django 1.10.7, I got the error

  File "/Users/me/.virtualenvs/proto/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django_q/apps.py", line 3, in <module>
    from .conf import Conf
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

I was able to fix this by directly editing django_q/apps.py and changing:

from .conf import Conf
to
from django_q.conf import Conf

I'd do a PR for this, but am not quite sure of what's going on since no one else seems to be experiencing it. Theories?

Is no one else experiencing this? I just hit it again with a fresh project. Would a simple PR be accepted with the change above?

I have this error too. And after I fix the error by ur way,it raise an other error:

I also experienced the issue on django 1.11 and python 3.6.1

My solution was to put django_q as the last item in installed apps

INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...,
       ...,
      'django_q'   # <-------last item in list
]

I didn't see a PR for this, since I'm doing some updates. I'll see if I can fix some of the relative imports in the code for the next release.
