Import error when using in projects without django CMS

[MacLake]

I have added an HTMLField to a model in a project without django CMS, which should work according to the docs:

from djangocms_text.fields  import HTMLField
#…
class Member(models.Model):
   # …
   description = HTMLField(blank=True, verbose_name=_('description'), help_text=_('Description of the member'))

But after starting runserver I get an import error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cms'

Good catch! Will check!

@MacLake Can you check if #56 works for you?

Now it fails in utils.py at line 8:

from cms import __version__
from cms.utils.urlutils import admin_reverse
