ImportError: No module named urls

Question

I have a django rest project which is built on Django1.7. I need to run it on Django 1.11. When i run

python manage.py migrate

The error is:

ImportError: No module named urls

on url.py line

url(r'^docs/', include('rest_framework_swagger.urls')),

I have already made modifications in url.py file to avoid patterns. The url.py file look like

from django.conf.urls import include,url
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.views.generic.base import TemplateView
from django.contrib import admin


admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = [

url(r'^grappelli/', include('grappelli.urls')),
url(r'^docs/', include('rest_framework_swagger.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'', include('gcm.urls')),
url(r'^', include('apps.account.urls')),
url(r'^', include('apps.vegetables.urls')),
url(r'^', include('apps.orders.urls')),
url(r'^', include('apps.listings.urls')),
url(r'^', include('apps.rating.urls')),
url(r'^', include('apps.faq.urls')),
url(r'^thank-you/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="thankyou.html"), name="thankyou"),
url(r'^/error/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="error.html"), name="error"),
url(r'^$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="index.html"), name="home"),
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

urlpatterns += [
'',
(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {
    'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT})]

How could i run it?

does your settings includes all apps? also check that all apps have urls module within themselves? does this same code worked on previous versions? — tom, Jun 01 '17 at 18:42
removing grappelli doesnt makes any change. It works for version1.7 — Hari Krishnan, Jun 01 '17 at 18:55
Is there really a *need* to make it work in version 1.11. Can you just have 1.7 installed in a virtual environment? Otherwise, I'm wondering if you need to do `urlpatterns = patterns('', url( ... ) + static( ...)` instead. — Matt Cremeens, Jun 01 '17 at 19:40
In Django=1.9+ you, i think you CANT put a string url anymore instead use an import.. — Shift 'n Tab, Jun 02 '17 at 10:41

In urls.py add this at the bottom,

urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT

From Django 1.9 it does not support to add the URLs as a string, but it need to be imported as callable. So remove this from your urls.py.

urlpatterns += [ '', (r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', { 'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT})]
