I've just set up a django project and got an error:

urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',

I've googled about setting DEBUG_TOOLBAR_PATCH_SETTINGS = False but it didnt help. What's the problem and how to fix it?

Answer 1

The error is clear: it's not a valid url configuration.
To correct the problem, you can do it like this:
# app/views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse
def hello(request):
return HttpResponse("Hello, world!")
Now create a file in that app called urls.py:
# app/urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url
from app import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.hello, name='hello'),
]
And now finally in site/urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^hello/', include('app.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
]

Answer 2

Do not use include() for a view pattern:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^hello/', testsite.views.hello),
)
include() is for "including" url configuration in-place from another module/application.
