How to rebuild Learning site for new Django 1.10.2?

Learning site works with Django 1.8.4 well, but doesn't with new Django 1.10.2.

Throws exceptions "NoReverseMatch" for views.

Ah, yeah, IIRC, there was something like {% url "views.hello_world" %} in a template, right? That's no longer supported as of Django 1.10, so you'll need to give the URL a name and use that instead, like Tatiana Vasilevskaya mentioned.

If that's what you named the URL. url(r"^hello/$", views.hello_world, name="hello_world") for example.

Thanks to Tatiana Vasilevskaya and Kenneth Love !

OK, so if someone else is interested in how to correct learning_site to use with Django 1.10:

1 In learning_site/urls.py add name to hello_world.

from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^courses/', include('courses.urls', namespace='courses')),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^$', views.hello_world, name='hello_world'),
]

urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()

2 in layout.html change dot notation for hello_world to the name added.

{% load static from staticfiles %}

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/layout.css' %}">
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="site-container">
            <nav>
                <a href="{% url 'hello_world' %}">Home</a>
                <a href="{% url 'courses:list' %}">Courses</a>
            </nav>
        {% block content %}{% endblock %}
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Ok.

  1. I use PyCharm.
  2. If i specify django version for my venv to 1.8.4 or 1.8.7 (You used 1.8.7 in video) - everything works like in video.
  3. If i instal latest django 1.10.2 to my venv - i get exceptions (i guess while rendering templates). Run manage.py Task: alt text Exception in browser: alt text

Same exception i get for all views.
