Question

I had a few views that were working, but now that I’ve added a new view it no longer works and I keep getting the error ViewDoesNotExist.

Traceback:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in get_response 101.request.path_info)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/urlresolvers.py" in resolve 300.sub_match = pattern.resolve(new_path)

  Exception Type: ViewDoesNotExist at /login/
  Exception Value: Could not import owners.views.login_request. View does not exist in module owners.views.

Any additional information / pointers on what I may be doing wrong would be helpful.

myview

def login_request(request):
    if request.user.is_authenticated():
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/profile')

    elif request.method == 'POST':
        form = Loginform(request.POST)

        if form.is_valid():
            username = form.cleaned_data['username']
            password = form.cleaned_data['password']
            site_user = authenticate(username= username,password = password )

            if site_user is not None:
                login(request,site_user)
                return HttpResponseRedirect('/profile')
            else:
               return render_to_response('login.html',{'form':form},context_instance = RequestContext(request))
        else:
            return render_to_response('login.html',{'form':form},context_instance = RequestContext(request))

    else:
        '''user not subinting show loging form'''
        form = Loginform()
        context = {'form': form}
        return render_to_response('login.html',context,context_instance = RequestContext(request))

and my url looks like this

(r'^login/$','owners.views.login_request'),

i have about 70views and its all gone down only the ‘/’ works

The problem was with the imports the models got confused as they imported from all over the place so i made a central app that managed every thing.
