Django redirecting from one view to another

Question

I'm trying to redirect to a view function from another using djando redirect().

def view1(request):
    message="hello! redirection was done!!"
    return render(request,'test.html',locals())
def view2(request):
    return redirect(view1)

but I'm getting NoReverseMatch exception. My urls.py is as shown below

from django.conf.urls import url
from django.contrib import admin
from .views import signup,auth_test,redirected,view2
urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'^signup/$' ,signup),
    url(r'^login/$', auth_test),
    url(r'^simple',view2)
    #url(r'^locallibrary.views.redirected/$',redirected)
]

any help will be appreciated thank you

You have to add view1 to url patterns also:

urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^signup/$' ,signup),
url(r'^login/$', auth_test),
url(r'^simple',view2),
url(r'^simple2',view1)
]
