Django AttributeError 'tuple' object has no attribute 'regex' - regex

Question

I'm using django 1.8 and having trouble with it. I am trying to import tinymce in my project. When I render it caught
AttributeError: tuple' object has no attribute 'regex'
When I remove the url in url.py it is working. Here is my codes.
url.py
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = [
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'hizlinot.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
(r'^tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),
]

Answer 1

You forgot the 'url'
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),
urlpatterns should be a list of url() instances
url returns RegexURLPattern but instead a tuple is found in your list.

Answer 2

I know it's not absolutely related to the question, but sometimes this error can be a little deeper than directly in a urls.py file.
I got this error and the cause of the problem wasn't in the error stack trace.
I had this problem while browsing the Admin with a custom Admin Class, and the problem was with the method get_urls() of this class, which was returning something like:
def get_urls(self):
from django.conf.urls import patterns
return ['',
(r'^(\d+)/password/$',
self.admin_site.admin_view(self.user_change_password))] + super(CompanyUserAdmin, self).get_urls()
To fix it:
def get_urls(self):
from django.conf.urls import patterns
return [
url(r'^(\d+)/password/$',
self.admin_site.admin_view(self.user_change_password))] + \
super(CompanyUserAdmin, self).get_urls()
Don't forget the import of 'url':
from django.conf.urls import url
