Question

Before I wrote in urls.py, my code… everything worked perfectly. Now I have problems – can’t go to my site. “cannot import name patterns”

My urls.py is:

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

They said what error is somewhere here.

Answer 1

You don’t need those imports. The only thing you need in your urls.py (to start) is:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

# This two if you want to enable the Django Admin: (recommended)
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    # ... your url patterns
)

NOTE: This solution was intended for Django <1.6. This was actually the code generated by Django itself. For newer version, see Jacob Hume’s answer.
