Not a documentation bug.

[James Munsch (james-a-munsch)]

I am also having the same issue in 14.10:

See: https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/58086/ubuntu-1410-importerror-could-not-import-settings-openstack_dashboardsettings/

Any suggestions on this?

[Sean McGinnis (sean-mcginnis)]

Still an issue. Fresh manual install of liberty and this happens.
