I'm getting a syntax error: EOL while scanning string literal url(r'^$, views.hello_world), I did it correctly!!!

from django.conf.urls import url from django.contrib import admin

from . import views

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

I'm not sure, but, I think that you are missing a ' in the second url.

urls.py 

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', views.hello_world),
]

Note: I am using Python3, and Django 2.0.3

You need to make the following import. It does not appear to be standard in urls.py as of the current version:

from django.conf.urls import url, include

Then your code should work.
