Django include url configuration

Question

I have the following url patterns in ROOT_URLCONF:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

My question is how the include works. What is the difference between 'polls.urls' and polls.urls. The first one works and brings in the polls.urls.py file.

What does the include actually do? Can I be pointed to documentation? (When I google search for include, I only find out about template includes)

One is a string and the other is an object reference. You can't reference objects whose names aren't known.

import polls.urls
