.newsletter.... looks like import syntax, but this isn't valid in an expression

at the top include a line like

from .newsletter.views import home

and then the url entry becomes

url(r'^', home, name="home"),

Hello,

You need to import views of newsletter module :

from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin

import newsletter.views as newsletter_views

After that, this shortcut can be used in your urlpatterns definition (you can also add a $ in the regex:

urlpatterns = [
	url(r'^$', newsletter_views.home, name="home")  

    #   url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

Hope it helps,

Sylvain
