Exception Type: TemplateSyntaxError at /admin/
Exception Value: Caught SyntaxError while rendering: invalid syntax (views.py, line 124)
In this case, the traceback is admittedly a little confusing. Django thinks this is a template error, and therefore gives you a snippet of the template and the traceback of where it thinks it occurred. But actually, the error is deeper – it’s occurring when Django tries to resolve the
{% url %}tag, which does a reverse lookup on urls and views to provide a link.But in order to do this, it must import all your views: and you have a syntax error in one of them, in line 124. Unfortunately, it doesn’t tell you which one.
