django - import error: no module named views
You prefixed your route names with a relative module name. Use an absolute name:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', "moments_app.views.index", name='index'),
url(r'^$', "moments_app.views.choose_dataset", name='choose'),
url(r'^get_moments/', "moments_app.views.get_moments", name='get_moments'),
url(r'^learn/$', "moments_app.views.learn", name='learn'),
url(r'^(?P<moment_id>\d+)/$', "moments_app.views.detail", name='detail'),
)
or better still, use the first argument to specify the full module path:
urlpatterns = patterns('moments_app.views',
url(r'^$', "index", name='index'),
url(r'^$', "choose_dataset", name='choose'),
url(r'^get_moments/', "get_moments", name='get_moments'),
url(r'^learn/$', "views.learn", name='learn'),
url(r'^(?P<moment_id>\d+)/$', "detail", name='detail'),
)
although a combination of the two is also allowed:
urlpatterns = patterns('moments_app',
url(r'^$', "views.index", name='index'),
url(r'^$', "views.choose_dataset", name='choose'),
url(r'^get_moments/', "views.get_moments", name='get_moments'),
url(r'^learn/$', "views.learn", name='learn'),
url(r'^(?P<moment_id>\d+)/$', "views.detail", name='detail'),
)
Two year update:
In Django 1.8 and later both string views and the patterns
function are deprecated, resulting in a simpler and more reliable syntax:
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
url(r'^$', views.choose_dataset, name='choose'),
url(r'^get_moments/', views.get_moments, name='get_moments'),
url(r'^learn/$', views.learn, name='learn'),
url(r'^(?P<moment_id>\d+)/$', views.detail, name='detail'),
]
Note that there are no "relative" or "absolute" view names with the callable syntax -- if you import the views
module you get its definitions. I'd avoid importing the individual view functions since there's a tiny chance that another import could define a colliding name. If you're not worried about collisions and don't mind putting your app name in the file, the urls can be slightly shortened:
from moments_app.views import index, choose_dataset, get_moments, learn, detail
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', index, name='index'),
url(r'^$', choose_dataset, name='choose'),
url(r'^get_moments/', get_moments, name='get_moments'),
url(r'^learn/$', learn, name='learn'),
url(r'^(?P<moment_id>\d+)/$', detail, name='detail'),
]
You have imported your view as
from moments_app import views
Some times it won't work.
Use this
from moments_app.views import *
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', index, name='index'),
url(r'^$', choose_dataset, name='choose'),
url(r'^get_moments/', get_moments, name='get_moments'),
url(r'^learn/$', learn, name='learn'),
url(r'^(?P<moment_id>\d+)/$', detail, name='detail'),
)
It will work..
