[importError] No module name py. Newby

[Snirp]

Hi there,

I am starting off with django and decided to stick with the "django
book"

The webserver initiates just fine, and i made the first example: return
current time when requested the URL: /now/

It returns the following error when requesting the url:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "d:\webdev\python\django\core\handlers\base.py" in get_response
65. callback, callback_args, callback_kwargs = resolver.resolve(path)
File "d:\webdev\python\django\core\urlresolvers.py" in resolve
145. for pattern in self.urlconf_module.urlpatterns:
File "d:\webdev\python\django\core\urlresolvers.py" in
_get_urlconf_module
161. self._urlconf_module = __import__(self.urlconf_name, '', '',
[''])

ImportError at /now/
No module named py

The path to d:\webdev\python is just fine and the welcome screen
displays just fine.

ok, made a typo, but i am still not out of the woods...

I now have a AttributeError at /now/ error

Exception Value: 'function' object has no attribute 'rindex'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "d:\webdev\python\django\core\handlers\base.py" in get_response
65. callback, callback_args, callback_kwargs = resolver.resolve(path)
File "d:\webdev\python\django\core\urlresolvers.py" in resolve

147. sub_match = pattern.resolve(new_path)

File "d:\webdev\python\django\core\urlresolvers.py" in resolve

112. self.func = self.get_callback()
File "d:\webdev\python\django\core\urlresolvers.py" in get_callback
116. mod_name, func_name = get_mod_func(self.callback)
File "d:\webdev\python\django\core\urlresolvers.py" in get_mod_func
23. dot = callback.rindex('.')

AttributeError at /now/
'function' object has no attribute 'rindex'

The urls.py looks like this:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from mysite.timeview import current_datetime

urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^now/$', current_datetime),
)

The current_datetime function is defined in timeview.py in the same
folder

I think unless you are using the stuff from the bleeding edge the
second object in the tuple should be a string. Check out this doc
(http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/url_dispatch/) and see how
they did the urls.py and see if that works better.

Something like this...

urlpatterns = patterns('', ('/something or other',
'mysite.timeview.current_datetime'),)

I have a sneaking suspicion that you are trying to `import
somefile.py`. When importing in your python code, the `.py` file
extension is assumed, so leave if off: `import somefile`.

If that's not it, post your urls.py file here so we can see what may
be causing the problem.

I was doing just that in the original post. I fixed that and got the
error in the second post. I am going to give it another try now

Great Tone! This works.

Just one thing... you are supposed to show me the general direction,
not to solve my problems with complete code included.

How will i ever learn? ;-)

If you were a pretty girl, i'd kiss you. Come to speak of it, I would
do just that with any pretty girl.

Well you get the general idea, i am greatful.
