Exception Type: ImportError at /Book/
Exception Value: No module named index

Contents of urls.py is

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
from DjangoPhoneBook.phonebook.views import *

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^Book/$', include('index'))
    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

and of views.py is

  from django.http import HttpResponse
  def index(request):
     return HttpResponse("This is a view page")

Answer 1

Remove the include from your first line. include is the syntax for adding a separate url conf, so python is looking for a module called index.

Change it to the full python dot path to your view function.

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^Book/$', 'path.to.my.views.index'), # <-- and add a comma here
    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

edit: I notice you are importing your view functions. You can also specify the view function itself

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^Book/$', index),
    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
