如何将代码升级到Django 2或使用类似于Django 1.9中的“ path”？

Question

I was using Django 1.9 and upgraded to Django 2.0 as follows:

pip install -U django

Check:

python3 -m django --version
> 2.1.7

The main reason to update django was the usage of path . As far as I understand, path is unavailable in Django 1.9.

So, I have this import in my code:

from django.conf.urls import url
from django.urls import path     # !!! this line fails !!!
from django.contrib import admin
from my_tests import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path("test", views.test_endpoint, name='test_endpoint')
]

However when I run the code, it throws the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django.urls'

It looks like it is still using an old version of django.

How to solve this error? How should I upgrade to Django 2 or how can I use something similar to path in Django 1.9?

Answer 1

This is how it was done before Django 2:

from django.conf.urls import include, url

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^index/$', index_view, name='main-view'),
    url(r'^test/', test_view, name='test_endpoint'),
    url(r'^weblog/', include('blog.urls')),
    ...
]

Taken from Documentation

There was no path module thus it throws an error.

Besides I recommend updating to Django 2.1 if it is not to much effort.

Here is a guide on how to do it. For version 2.1 you have to use one of the following python versions: 3.5, 3.6, 3.7. Django-Python
