[Python] AttributeError: module 'profile' has no attribute 'run'

So I have an extended User model (extended AbstractUser) called Profile. This was in a seperate app called "profiles". I was plugging in the standard login and realised it was looking for a "profile" app name as standard, so I renamed it (directories, code, DB schema) which I thought should work. app_name was actually already set to "profile" in apps.py, so didn't need to rename url references.

No dice. I get the error in the title.

So I removed all migrations (I'm at the stage where I can still do this OK ) and deleted the sqlite DB that I'm currently working with, thinking I'd just rerun the migrations and recreate everything.

Same error.

The stack trace is:

What have I missed as part of this rename?

Any other info I've missed posting that would help? (I've searched for any instance of "profiles", but everything is correctly renamed now, and the app was working OK prior to this, so it's purely this rename that's messed it up).

Edit: Can it be that "profile" conflicts with some internal python routine? That cProfile.py file under the python installation is defined as

#! /usr/bin/env python3

"""Python interface for the 'lsprof' profiler.
Compatible with the 'profile' module.
"""


Now that can't be anything to do with my project? Do I just need to call my app/extended user model something other than "profile"?
