I am trying to go though Django tutorial which explains about static files, but when I am trying implement that I am getting following error:
[08/Oct/2017 23:08:27] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 365
[08/Oct/2017 23:08:27] "GET /static/polls/sytle.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1658
My Django project structure: (removing irrelevant files and folders).

I spent significant time searching on net on possible pitfalls and trying to find my the issue here, but I couldn't find any solution.
Anyone able to spot any error or issues on my code by which Django not able to display static page.
