     '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages',
     '/Users/Tone/Documents/Django']

And this is my urls.py code:

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 = patterns('',

    # Site control
    url(r'^$', 'macrotelecom.base.views.home', name='home'),
    url(r'^company/', include('macrotelecom.company.urls')),
    url(r'^people/', include('macrotelecom.people.urls')),
    url(r'^lines/', include('macrotelecom.lines.urls')),
    url(r'^accounting/', include('macrotelecom.accounting.urls')),
    url(r'^sales/', include('macrotelecom.sales.urls')),
    url(r'^shop/', include('macrotelecom.shop.urls')),
    url(r'^news/', include('macrotelecom.news.urls')),
    url(r'^map/', 'macrotelecom.base.views.webmap', name='map'),
    url(r'^error/$', 'macrotelecom.base.views.error', name='error'),

    # Internal
    url(r'^favicon\.ico$', 'django.views.generic.simple.redirect_to', {'url': '/static/img/favicon.ico'}),
    url(r'^i18n/', include('django.conf.urls.i18n')),
    #url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^rosetta/', include('rosetta.urls')),

    # User control
    (r'^not_authorized/$', 'base.views.not_authorized'),
    (r'^login/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.login'),
    (r'^logout/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.logout'),
    (r'^password_change/$','django.contrib.auth.views.password_change'),
    (r'^password_change/done/$','django.contrib.auth.views.password_change_done'),
    (r'^password_reset/$','django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset'),
    (r'^password_reset/done/$','django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_done'),
    (r'^reset/(?P<uidb36>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<token>.+)/$','django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm'),
    (r'^reset/done/$','django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_complete'),

)

Line 22 correspond with the favicon url, i thought that could be the scape character or something like that (i put an # for comment) but didn’t work, always says EOL error, what could it be?

Answer 1

That file (at least the part you posted) does not have any syntax errors. Sometimes errors can appear to come from a different files.

Check the files you’ve recently edited by just running the interpreter on them, python myapp/views.py or so. If you get NameError or ImportError, or it just runs fine, then there are no syntax errors in myapp/views.py, so try another file.
