template.render() python subfunction in Django 1.11 not available

Question

So, I have PyCharm 2017.2.3, and Python 3.6, and Django 1.11. while practicing on the test project, I tried to render to my index.html in view.py under my app. Below is the piece of code that I am talking about:

def index(request):
    db_Conn = Album.objects.all()
    template = loader.get_template('/music/index.html')
    context = {
        'db_Conn': db_Conn,
    }
    return HttpResponse(template.re)

Inside return HttpResponse , I can get until template, but when I use a period after template to use the render() sub-function, I do not get any suggestion from PyCharm for render() instead, I could see two other functions which not relevant to my post.

Can sombody help me on this. My learning is halted due to this.

Try this. I assume music is app name, so your template file should be in, music/templates/index.html

from django.shortcuts import render 
from django.utils import timezone
def index(request):    
         return render(request, 'index.html', {'start_date':timezone.now()})
