Re: Same tutorial different day

You should move the `polls/` subdirectory to the outer `mysite/` directory, rather than the inner `mysite/mysite/` directory. The tutorial does actually say this, but admittedly it's easy to miss:

Your apps can live anywhere on your Python path. In this tutorial, we'll create our poll app right next to your manage.py file so that it can be imported as its own top-level module, rather than a submodule of mysite.

 You don't need to `import polls` in your urls.py, since it doesn't actually use the `polls` module, it only has a string reference to that module. Django takes care of importing whatever you pass to `include()` if it's a string reference.

I was attempting the tutorial titled "Writing your first Django app".  The tutorial appears to be very simple, but it does not seem to work.  I have frustrated myself by attempting to do it from scratch after failing last week.  If I could get this app to work I could fix the tutorial for you.  It looks like a lot of people have similar gripes about the directions not working.

I get errors like ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'polls'

my directory structure looks like this : 

/home/me/parent/mysite/

                                       db.sqlite3

                                       manage.py

                                       mysite/

/home/me/parent/mysite/mysite/

                                                   __init__.py

                                                   polls/

                                                   settings.py

                                                   urls.py

                                                   wsgi.py

the content of urls.py is : 

from django.conf.urls import include, url

from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [

    url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),

    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),

]

/home/me/parent/mysite/mysite/polls/

                                                           __init__.py

                                                           admin.py

                                                           apps.py

                                                           migrations

                                                           models.py

                                                           tests.py

                                                           urls.py

                                                           views.py

                                                          

the content of urls.py is : 

from django.conf.urls  import url

from . import views

urlpatterns = [

    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),

]

the content of views.py is : 

from django.shortcuts import render

from django.http import HttpResponse

# Create your views here.

def index(request):

    return HttpResponse("Hello, Mothers Fuckers!  You're at the polls index!")

So can somebody please tell me why I get ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'polls'.
