Instead of providing the view itself, i want to pass its module path as a string in the urls.py file as the code below

urlpatterns = ['',

url(r'^$', main_page),

url(r'^user/(\w+)/$', user_page),

url(r'^login/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.login'),

]

but it return this information

TypeError: view must be a callable or a list/tuple in the case of include()

please any help

below is also the HTML form .

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Django Bookmark - User Login</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>User Login</h1>
    {% if form.has_errors %}
        <p>Your username and password didn't match.</p>

    {% endif %}
    <form method="post" action=".">
        <p><label for="id_username">Username:</label>{{ form.username }}</p>
        <p><label for="id_password">Password:</label>{{ form.password }}</p>
        <input type="hidden" name="next" value="/"/>
        <input type="submit" value="login"/>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Import the view: from django.contrib.auth.views import login

and replace 'django.contrib.auth.views.login' with a reference to the login function.

from django.contrib.auth.views import login

urlpatterns = [ <-- remove the empty string on this line

...

url(r'^login/$', login),

]

Use include() [1] for that, there are further info at [2] including a
shorthand for registering several urls at once and a login form
template.

Have you looked at the official Django documentation?

http://masteringdjango.com/django-book/ is another nice resource.
