Question

I’ve got an error in my urls:

TypeError at / can only concatenate tuple (not “list”) to tuple

Can’t get what I did wrong. Where is the list in there?

from django.conf import settings

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

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

urlpatterns = ('googleapi.apiapp.views',
    (r'^$', 'first_view'),
)

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

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

    # Static files url.
    (r'^site_media/media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
                                   {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
    (r'^site_media/static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
                                {'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT}),
)

Exception Value: can only concatenate tuple (not "list") to tuple

Answer 1

The error pretty much describes your problem. You’re missing a call to patterns() in your first definition of urlpatterns.
