This error comes when I try to start the server.

I am starting the traceback here because at first I had it as a free standing module and not inside views.py, but i thought they said a view is a callable and so can be anywhere and be named anything?

 File "/home/malikarumi/Projects/cannon/jamf/essell/urls.py", line 14, in <module>

    url(r'code/', CodeDetail.as_view(template_name='code_family_detail')),

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'as_view'

Why? It is clearly subclassed from list view. I got it straight from the docs

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/class-based-views/mixins/

Then I put it in views.py. Now I see an unhandled exception, but I don't know what it means or what to do about it.

 File "/home/malikarumi/Projects/cannon/jamf/essell/urls.py", line 9, in <module>

    from essell.views import CodeDetail

ImportError: cannot import name CodeDetail

Unhandled exception in thread started by <function wrapper at 0x7f85a2b7e230>

Did you catch the ImportError here? Everything else is going to tumble until that gets fixed. 

I noticed that you use both CodeDetail and CodeDetailView. Near as I can tell, they are both supposed to be the same (or one was created as part of the troubleshooting process here). 

I would highly, highly recommend that you standardize on one or the other (my preference is the latter). It seems like you may be dealing with two different views and getting the names crossed.
