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

[ruben.ch...@gmail.com]

Hi there. To test out django I created a Work_manager for a site, and created this for he urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import include, url

 # from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [

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

    url(r'^$', 'TasksManager.views.index.page'),

    url(r'^index$', 'TasksManager.views.index.page')

]

In the TasksManager/views/index.py:

# - * - Coding: utf -8 - * -

from django.http import HttpResponse

# View for index page.

def page(request):

return HttpResponse("Testing...")

Yet when I run the program: python manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:8000 I get the response:

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

Some help would be much appreciated.

You need to import your views and reference the callable as described at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/http/urls/#example.

Referencing the view by string using patterns() is deprecated:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/releases/1.8/#django-conf-urls-patterns

Many thanks Tim! Problem solved.
