Where is the Python.png located?

From your code, it should be directly in your static folder not a subfolder. So verify your file structure first. If every is in order, confirm if whitenoise is installed, and been added to your MiddleWare.

According to your settings, the `Python.png` file should be inside `static` on the same level as `manage.py`.

|---static /
|-- Python.png
|--manage.py

|--....

The file structure of almost that kind. If you're in development and this is a practice thing, you don't need `whitenoise` just yet.

It is :

STATICFILES_DIRS=[

.....

]

Not :

STATICFILES_DIR=[

.....

]

Just add S in the end of DIR like DIRS and make sur u create static folder in your project root.
