ImportError: cannot import name 'url' from 'django.conf.urls django #Python #Django #VisualStudioCode

Question

I have been trying to write a simple django website. Unfortunately I am having errors with trying to import bayaan.urls (the app) into the urls.py(of the project).

This is the error:

(test) C:\Users\---\Documents\------\Django\apps\School>python manage.py runserver
Watching for file changes with StatReloader
Performing system checks...

Exception in thread django-main-thread:

    from django.conf.urls import url
ImportError: cannot import name 'url' from 'django.conf.urls' (C:\Users\---\Envs\test\lib\site-packages\django\conf\urls\__init__.py)

This is my code (in bayaan(the app)):

from django.conf.urls import url 
from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('',views.home, name='home')]

This is the code in the School folder(The project):

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns = [
    path('bayaan/', include('bayaan\urls.py')),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]

I've tried using re_path with no luck. By the way, I'm using python 3.10.1 as well as django 4.0.1. My code editor is Visual Studio Code.

ps. I'm using windows.

The url() method was removed in Django 4.0. Look at the release notes here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/releases/4.0/#features-removed-in-4-0

django.conf.urls.url() is removed

But in your case, you're not using the url method only path (supported in Django 4.0), so only remove the import line from your code

from django.conf.urls import url

For more details how Django processes a request (using path and re-path methods) see the documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/http/urls/#how-django-processes-a-request
