I'm doing the Django basics course and trying to follow along locally. When I run the below code I get the error: SystemError: Parent module '' not loaded, cannot perform relative import
I feel like I'm just doing something stupid but not sure what. Any help would be much appreciated.
views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse
def hello_world(request): return HttpResponse('Hello World')
urls.py
from django.conf.urls import include, url from django.contrib import admin
from . import views
urlpatterns = [ url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), url(r'^$', views.hello_world), ]

"from . import views" is what is giving you the problem. The "." indicates a relative file path, and the error says it cant do a relative import.
Try giving the actual name of the module you are using.
Hope this helps!
