Python Django Basics What a View! What Are URLs?

Code does not work!

Typed everything in exactly in urls.py, and got the error: ImportError: cannot import name 'views'.

NO, this is NOT an indentation issue.

Can you please post your code? Remember to wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after the code snippet.

Example:

```

print("Hello")

```

And make sure to add python after the first set of ticks

'' 'python

Not all the files you need for that step are generated automatically.

Did you create a 'views.py' file in the learning_site project folder? Note, the file "views.py" is not automatically created in the project folder when you run the command below

$ django-admin startproject learning_site

Kenneth adds the 'views.py' file in the previous video called "Hello Django" at about 1:00 minute into the video.

When you do a "startapp" command, the view.py is automatically generated in the app folder. In my opinion, why they did projects and apps differently is to suggest a design approach which promotes "DRY" (don't repeat yourself) and reusability for apps.

Actually, it isn't required to put the "python" thing in front of the first set of ticks.

If you don't provide it it will look like this:

print("Hello")

However, if you do, it will look like this:

print("Hello")

To keep things simple I just explained the one without the "python" thing.
