30 PointsMy url.py code isn't working in python
Hi,
I am currently trying to create a library webite for my school assignment but I am not knowlegable about python so I am really confused as to how the coding works. I am currently at the process of creating urls and views, but after watching a few tutorials on Youtube, I still can't get my code to work.
There is always an error called -- SyntaxError: EOF while scanning triple-quoted string literal
This is the code I'm having errors with:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf.urls import include, url
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url('books/', include('library.urls')),
]
The reason for doing that code is to link this main urls.py file to another urls.py in another location so I do not need to put all my urlpatterns in the main location. And at the same time, I am also importing views to the newly created urls.py file. But I cannot get Python to execute the codes as I need to display words in the website.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

Could this be due to the following comma at the end of your array?
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url('books/', include('library.urls')), # <- is that comma needed?
]
Steve.

Treehouse Moderator 68,426 PointsCan you be more specific about the error? I don't see the triple quoted string you mentioned. Also, could you post the full stacktrace error message you are seeing?
