AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'views'

Question

Hello I'm learning Django framework for Web applications

I'm trying to build basic blog from tutorial

and I'm stuck with the error:

AttributeError is telling me that  'function' object has no attribute 'views'.

I don't know where I have problem in my files so I will include here some code of my files.

There is my urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url
from django.contrib import admin
import WarblerTest


urlpatterns = {
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    (r'^$', WarblerTest.blog.views.index),
    url(
        r'^blog/view/(?P<slug>[^\.]+).html',
        WarblerTest.blog.views.view_post,
        name='view_blog_post'),
    url(
        r'^blog/category/(?P<slug>[^\.]+).html',
        WarblerTest.blog.views.view_category,
        name='view_blog_category'),
}

There is my views.py

from django.shortcuts import render
from blog.models import Blog, Category
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, get_object_or_404


def index(request):
    return render_to_response('index.html', {
        'categories': Category.objects.all(),
        'posts': Blog.objects.all()[:5]
    })


def view_post(request, slug):
    return render_to_response('view_post.html', {
        'post': get_object_or_404(Blog, slug=slug)
    })


def view_category(request, slug):
    category = get_object_or_404(Category, slug=slug)
    return render_to_response('view_category.html', {
        'category': category,
        'posts': Blog.objects.filter(category=category)[:5]
    })

There is my models.py

from django.db import models
from django.db.models import permalink

# Create your models here.

class Blog(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length = 100,unique = True)
    slug = models.CharField(max_length = 100,unique = True)
    body = models.TextField()
    posted = models.DateField(db_index = True,auto_now_add = True)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return '%s' % self.title

    @permalink
    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return ('view-blog-post',None, {'slug' : self.slug})

class Category(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length = 100,db_index = True)
    slug = models.SlugField(max_length = 100,db_index = True)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return '%s' % self.title

    @permalink
    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return ('view_blog_category', None, { 'slug': self.slug })

And there is my tracback error

I think this is a issue of the urls.py, normaly i import the views directly through from . import views and then just call views.view_post — Richy

Yes, Richy is right. Remove WarblerTest.blog. before views in url, and update your import. — Wilfried

Please include the full traceback in your question, so that we don't need to guess what line is causing the problem. Your urlpatterns should be a list, urlpatterns = [...], not a set urlpatterns = {...}. It looks like your urls.py is your main urls.py, not your blog/urls.py. In that case, you need to do from blog import views, instead of from . import views as @Richy suggested. — Alasdair

In your main project urls.py, remove the import WarblerTest import and replace it with from blogs import views.

Then update your url patterns to use the views module that you imported. Note that urlpatterns should be a list (square brackets [...] not curly braces {...} as you have. Every item should be a url(...) rather than a tuple (...) to avoid problems in Django 1.10+.

from blogs import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'^$', views.index),
    url(r'^blog/view/(?P<slug>[^\.]+).html', views.view_post, name='view_blog_post'),
    url(r'^blog/category/(?P<slug>[^\.]+).html', views.view_category, name='view_blog_category'),
]
