Python django cannot import name views

Question

Ive setup django and am setting up my urls like

from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
 from . import views

urlpatterns = [
   url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
   url(r'^home/$', views.homepage),
]

The above always produces an error

cannot import name views

PROJECT STRUCTURE

geoff
   settings.py
   urls.py  //using this
   wsgi.py

 homepage
   migrations->folder
   _init_.py
   .....others here
   views.py

this is main URL file... in main project folder. || Go to app folder and create urls.py and import the same. || from . import something means you should have the something file in the same directory. — Shiv Shankar

You have a homepage directory where views.py is located, in which case you need to do from homepage import views. — solarissmoke

You have a indent issue in your urls.py.

Check the below line

`from . import views`

You have a extra space at start of this line. Please remove the space your problem will gets solved.
