problem with using generic views

[Doaa Hassan]

Hi all,

I am trying to convert poll app introduced on:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/intro/tutorial01/

 to use the generic views system as described on:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/intro/tutorial04/

 However, when I  convert the URLconf  by opening  the polls/urls.py and change it like so:

from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.IndexView.as_view(), name='index'),
    url(r'^(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', views.DetailView.as_view(), name='detail'),
    url(r'^(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/results/$', views.ResultsView.as_view(), name='results'),
    url(r'^(?P<question_id>[0-9]+)/vote/$', views.vote, name='vote'),
]

then reload the polls app (http://localhost:8000/polls/), I got the following error:


'module' object has no attribute 'IndexView'


Traceback:

File "C:\Users\nti\Desktop\test_env\lib\site-packages\django\core\handlers\base.py" in get_response

  25.     url(r'^$', views.IndexView.as_view(), name='index'),

Exception Type: AttributeError at /polls/
Exception Value: 'module' object has no attribute 'IndexView'

--------------------------------

Do you have any clue to fix the problem? 

Thanks.

Best regards,

Did you complete the following section after changing the urls.conf? The URL changes won't work until you modify the views.py file in the next section.
