'function' object is not subscriptable when "include"ing Django URL pattern?

Question

I'm making a Django website, off of a tutorial I'm watching on http://youtube.com, and I'm having problemos. Here's my urls.py script:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
# from django.contrib import admin
# admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^', include['FirstBlog.apps.homepage.urls']),
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'FirstBlog.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^FirstBlog/', include('FirstBlog.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    # url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

And my output:

Please help?

Also, if you have a good tutorial I could follow, please link me it! Also, I would preferably like to use Mamp Pro for the databases. Help a n00b?

So, there is a function named by include and [...] is being use on it. Don't do that. — user166390

include is a function; you're subscripting it as if it was a list.

For example:

apples = [ 'Granny Smith', 'Russet' ]
red_apple = apples[1]    # <-- Subscripting a list

Since functions can't be subscripted, you get the error you posted. But, as can be seen in the commented examples, you should be calling the function using the () syntax:

(r'^', include('FirstBlog.apps.homepage.urls'))
#             ^                              ^
