Django REST Framework Viewset returns a 404 (GET request)

Question

I'm seeking to understand how the ViewSet compliments URL routing when used with routers in the context of Django REST framework. When I'm requesting a collection at api/v2/people/, a 404 response is returned. I'm not clear on what else is required for the view to render in the browser and get a 200 status code as a part of the response?

urls.py

from django.urls import path, include

from rest_framework import routers

from people import views

router = routers.SimpleRouter()
router.register(r'people', views.PersonViewSet, basename="people")

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('api-path/', include('rest_framework.urls')),
    path('api/v2/people/', include(router.urls), name="people")
]

people/views.py

from rest_framework.viewsets import ViewSet

from .models import Person
from .serializers import PersonSerializer


class PersonViewSet(ViewSet):

    def list(self, request):
        queryset = Person.objects.all()
        serializer = PersonSerializer(queryset, many=True)
        return Response(serializer.data)

Answer 1

As per your configuration, It should try this URL api/v2/people/people/

Or change

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('api-path/', include('rest_framework.urls')),
    path('api/v2/', include(router.urls), name="people") # removed `people/`
]

and then access api/v2/people/

Answer 2

You probabely have defined you app level urls.py like this,

# your app level urls.py
urlpatterns = [
            .....
            .....
            path('people/',<Your view>, name='people-list'),
        ]

and in your root urls.py,

# your root level urls.py
urlpatterns = [
    .......
    path('api/v2/people/', include(router.urls), name="people")
]

so after appending both, the final url endpoint is, api/v2/people/people/

but your are requesting api/v2/people/

so either remove people/ from your root urls.py like this,

# your root level urls.py
urlpatterns = [
    .......
    path('api/v2/', include(router.urls), name="people")
]

and then request api/v2/people/

OR, request with api/v2/people/people/

OR, remove people/ from your app level urls.py,

# your app level urls.py
urlpatterns = [
  .....
  .....
  path('',<Your view>, name='people-list'), # this is not a good option though

]

and then request api/v2/people/
