Tutorial part 1 Parent module not loaded

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
