Re: Tutorial part 1 Parent module not loaded

The problem is how you import your views form your urls.py

you have to import also your poll views from mysite urls.py

you should try this:

mysite--->mysite--->urls.py

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from poll import views

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^poll/', include('poll.urls')),

    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

Hope this helps.

Cheers

mysite--->polls--->urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

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

mysite--->mysite--->urls.py

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),
]

That is something I have tried. When I do it that way and run the program there is no error.  However, when I attempt to start the server from the command prompt I am presented with the following meesages which ends with 'Import error: No module named views'

Thank you for the response.  Since there are 2 of them I have posted both.  I have highlighted in yellow the places where they reside.  I have also attached the outer directory structure showing c:\djangoprojects and also a shot of the mysite structure.  I set this up as per the tutorial instructions or so I think I did.

mysite--->polls--->urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

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

mysite--->mysite--->urls.py

from django.conf.urls import include, url

Hi,

I am very new to Python and Django but not to programming. I have been programming for 30 years. That said I am trying to work my way thru the Django tutorial part 1 and I am confronted with the following error I can't get past:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "urls.py", line 3, in <module>
    from . import views
SystemError: Parent module '' not loaded, cannot perform relative import
Press any key to continue . . .

I'm sure you will request additional information but at this point I'm not sure what you will want to see.  I will post whatever you require.I have started over 3 times with the same results.  I believe I have followed the steps faithfully and I have setup the directory structures as you direct.  I didn't change anything. I'm running python 3.5.1 and Django 1.9.1. 

I would appreciate any help getting thru this as its becoming very frustrating

Thanks
