Meta.fields shadows import_export.fields

[krishraghuram]

from import_export import resources, fields
from .models import Profile

class ProfileResource(resources.ModelResource):
	class Meta:
		model = Profile
	        fields = ('rollno', 'name', 'resident_hostel', 'subscribed_hostel')
        rollno = fields.Field(readonly = True)

I get an error 'tuple' object has no attribute 'Field' in the last line.

I assume this is because import_export.fields is being shadowed by the fields tuple that specify white listed fields.

The easy fix is : from import_export.fields import Field instead of from import_export import fields
But I think this problem should be mentioned in the Getting Started section of docs, so that new users don't get confused.

Hello @krishraghuram,

thanks for raising this, I see how it can add confusion. Would you like to make PR which would update docs to use from import_export.fields import Field instead of from import_export import fields?
