Question

I’ve updated my Django version to the latest nightly, and I’m getting the following error in the admin;

Could not import django.contrib.syndication.views.feed.  
View does not exist in module django.contrib.syndication.views.

I had this error in several views too because, indeed, django.contrib.syndication.views.feed was deprecated and has been removed.
I only had to add a

from django.contrib.syndication.views import Feed

with

from django.contrib.syndication.feeds import Feed

Problem is that I can’t find any references to django.contrib.syndication.views.feed anywhere, not even in the Django source, so I don’t understand where the error is coming from and how to solve it.

The direct source of the error is

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/urlresolvers.py in get_callable, line 100

but I can’t find anything there either.

Hoping someone can help!

Answer 1

user643511 suggested that the error might be in my own code, not Django. However she didn’t point out the real problem (which I understand since I didn’t provide the right information). Only after days of digging I found that I had

url(r'^feeds/(?P<url>.*)/$', 'django.contrib.syndication.views.feed', {'feed_dict': feeds}),

in urls.py. And instead, I had to use

url(r'^feeds/(?P<url>.*)/$', 'django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed', {'feed_dict': feeds}),

Mind the capital F in views.Feed.

So if anyone passes by with similar trouble, check urls.py.
