django name render is not defined - django

Question

I have an error when I try to import render in my program and I fear it is because it is not supported in django 1.9.
I am using python 3.4 and django 1.9.
When I try to run my server, I have the error:
ImportError: cannot import name render`.
Here is my code:
blog/views:
from datetime import datetime
from django.shortcuts import render
def date_actuelle(request):
return render(request, 'blog/date.html', {'date': datetime.now()})
def addition(request, nombre1, nombre2):
total = int(nombre1) + int(nombre2)
# Retourne nombre1, nombre2 et la somme des deux au tpl
return render(request, 'blog/addition.html', locals())
blog/urls:
from django.conf.urls import url, patterns
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
# url(r'^accueil/$', views.home),
# url(r'^article/(?P<id_article>\d+)$', views.view_article),
# url(r'^article/(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\d{2})$', views.list_articles),
# url(r'^redirection$', views.view_redirection),
url(r'^date/$', views.date_actuelle),
url(r'^addition/(?P<nombre1>\d+)/(?P<nombre2>\d+)/$', views.addition),
]
creps_bretonnes.urls:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from blog import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
]
I have also tried from django.shortcuts import *, then the server is launched but when I try to access the page it says NameError: name 'render' is not defined.
Would you have an idea?
What is written on the server when I run it:
cmd values when trying to run the server with from django.shortcuts import render
traceback when using from django.shortcuts import * and trying to access localhost:8000/blog/date

Finaly I have deployed a virtual env (ubuntu) using virtual box.
I had absolutely no issues on the ubuntu env to deploy it and follow the steps with the exact same code as above!
Thanks for your help anyway!
