Exception Value: No module named url -- on django poll tutorial

[goreano]

Hi,

I'm a newbie diving into django I've found a problem I've been hitting my head against for the last 2 days.

I think it is a path issue, actually I get the same error as i try to open any URL on localhost:8000

Can you please give me a hint...  I have to improve my path definition skills but I'm stuck here:

I get an error:

ImportError at /

No module named url

and this the app urls file


from django.conf.urls import patterns, url

Thanks!!!!!

Isn't there a stacktrace that goes with that error message?

This is the clue ... see below in your settings the ROOT_URLCONF value
which is where Django looks to see if the url sent by the browser can be
recognised (via matching to a Python regular expression) and if so,
which view code to execute.

So, that ROOT_URLCONF might include other named url modules (other
whatever.py files with (url matching to view) urls you want to satisfy.

By convention ROOT_URLCONF points to urls.py in the same directory as
the settings.py file but it doesn't have to.

If you are new to Django it can be somewhat confusing understanding the
paths involved. I found it valuable to print out all the paths if DEBUG
== True. Seeing them all permanently displayed by the dev server just
kept reminding me where they were and made debugging static file
locations and template dirs etc so easy.

Sorry - I didn't look past your settings ROOT_URLCONF

Nor did I see that others have responded. Please disregard mine.

Your root urls.py, line 19 should say:
     url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls'))

That is, the character before the last single quote on the line should be 's'.

HEYYYYYY K1G,   You've got it....  this is a typical case of trees not letting me see the forest....

Thanks a lot for your eagles eye ;-)

[Bill Freeman]

Stack traces help a lot.  Just follow it up from the bottom until it's back in your code.  Then you know where to concentrate.
