Django 'ImportError: cannot import name url'

Question

Hi could anyone help me fix 'ImportError: cannot import name url' problem? I have followed tutorial here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/intro/tutorial01/

I have tried another tutorial https://docs.djangoproject.com/zh-hans/2.0/ref/urls/#django.urls.include but neither of them worked My Django version is 1.11.20

Were gonna need a bit more information, such as a full error stack trace, as well as maybe your urls.py — Hybrid

path was introduced in django since Django 2.0. So, if you are using Django 1.11, then you can't use it. You need to define urls like this:

from django.conf.urls import url, include

urlpatterns = [
    # rest of the urls
    url(r'^$', HomeView.as_view()),

]
