Django: No module named context_processors, Base URL

I've scoured the web for a solution but nothing seems to work. I'm getting the error:

ImproperlyConfigured at /tool/page4/

Error importing module mysite.context_processors: "No module named context_processors"

settings.py

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
# default context processors for Django 1.4
"django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
"django.core.context_processors.debug",
"django.core.context_processors.i18n",
"django.core.context_processors.media",
"django.core.context_processors.static",
"django.core.context_processors.tz",
"django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages",
"django.core.context_processors.request",
"mysite.context_processors.baseurl",
)

views.py

if(team_value != "---------" && product_value != "---------" && type_team.length > 3 && pattern_value.length > 1)
      {
        $.ajax({

              url: {{BASE_URL}}'/tool/page4/add_team/',
              type: 'POST',
              dataType: 'html',
              data: {
                  "team" : team_value,
                  "product" : product_value,
                  "pattern" : pattern_value,
                  "type" : type_team,
                  "array" : data_array
              },
              async: false,

              error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) { 
                  alert("Status: " + textStatus); alert("Error: " + errorThrown); 
              } 
          });
        location.reload(true);

Within my project directory, I have my context_processor.py and init.py files (both not in a folder), however, it doesn't seem to find those files. If I want to avoid using hard-coded URLs, is this way viable or could someone suggest something otherwise? Any help is greatly appreciated!

The outer project directory is not usually on the Python path. You probably just need context_processors.base_url, without the mysite.
