AttributeError : 'module' object has no attribute 'index'

Question

I'm currently going through the official tutorial provided on Django's documentation site, and have encountered an AttributeError. Here's the code I'm working with :

'polls' is the name of my application.

views.py

from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello, world. You're at the poll index.")

\polls\urls.py

from django.conf.urls import patterns, url

from polls import views

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index')
)

urls.py

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'mysite.views.home', name='home'),
    url(r'^blog/', include('Blog.urls')),
    url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

Error:

AttributeError at /polls

What seems to be the problem with my code ?

EDIT 1:

I replaced the line

from polls import views

with

from polls.views import index

However, now I get a NameError:

Exception Type:     NameError
Exception Value:    

name 'views' is not defined

in the 6th line of my /polls/urls.py source code:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, url

from polls.views import index

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index')
)

There could be some conflict with the package name. Just try changing from polls import views to from polls.views import index — karthikr

Now I'm getting a NameError. I have edited my original post above to include the details of the error that I encountered. — Manas Chaturvedi

views.py should be inside polls/views.py

from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello, world. You're at the poll index.")
