"importerror: No Module Named Urls" While Following Django Tutorial

I am following the official django tutorial https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/intro/tutorial04/ I am using Django 1.9.8 and I am now getting the following error in /polls/view

Solution 1:

That tutorial requires Django 1.10 while you seem to be using an older version. In this case, you should import reverse as follows:

from django.core.urlresolversimport reverse

To upgrade your Django version, use the following command (in your command line, not in the Python shell):

pip install --upgrade django

Solution 2:

Latest tutorial (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/intro/tutorial01/) uses Django 2.0, which supports Python 3.4 and later

Since I ran into this same issue I had to upgrade by python as well as django

sudo apt-get-y install python3-pip
pip3 install --upgrade django

to see your django version run following command -

python3 -c "import django; print(django.get_version())"

for me it says 2.0.1

To check python version run -

python3 --version

For me it is Python 3.5.2

Solution 3:

At times, if one has multiple copies of django running on one's machine like I had, if the current project requires a different version of sjango, it is easier to simply go to preferences -> project interpreter -> add a virtual env -> install latest copy of django. Now pycharm will interpret the project correctly.
