Django ImportError at /admin/

Question

When I try to access to my Django admin site I got the following error:

ImportError at /admin/

No module named django.views

Request Method: GET Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ Django Version: 1.4.1 Exception Type: ImportError Exception Value:

No module named django.views

Exception Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/utils/importlib.py in import_module, line 35 Python Executable: /usr/bin/python Python Version: 2.7.3

Here is my urls.py file:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', include('home.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

When I comment the line url(r'^$', include('home.urls')) , the admin site works againg.

I can't figure out what my problem is. Can you help me?

Answer 1

You have an error in one of your own views somewhere else in the code, which is trying to import django.views . The admin site needs to import all views in order to reverse URLs properly, so is triggering the error even though it isn't in the admin code itself.

Answer 2

I m not sure if it quenches ya thirst for the right answer.. I tried replicating the issue and found that instead of using

include('home.urls')

if you replace it with something like

(admin.site.urls)

or you could also use

url(r'^{{project_name}}', '{{project_name}}.{{app_name}}.views.{{some html template file}}'),

then it works fine.Hope it at least helps you narrow down on point of impact.
