Python Django Import Error

Question

I am newbie to django.I m using python 2.6 with django 1.3v I am trying to create a simple blog application.When I access the http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ I'm getting the error No module named urls.I gave this url(r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')) in urls.py.

urls.py

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
# from django.contrib import admin
# admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'mysite.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^mysite/', include('mysite.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
     url(r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')),
)

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'mysite.blog',
    #Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    'django.contrib.admin',
    # Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentatio    n:  
    'django.contrib.admindocs',
 )

models.py

   from django.db import models
   from django.contrib import admin

   class BlogPost(models.Model):
     title=models.CharField(max_length=150)
     body=models.TextField()
     timestamp=models.DateTimeField()

   admin.site.register(BlogPost)

Error:

Any pointers?

Check INSTALLED_APPS, it should have 'django.contrib.admin'. — Mike DeSimone

Try uncommenting # from django.contrib import admin # admin.autodiscover() — Calvin Cheng

Always good to "show invisibles" in your editor when working with Python, if you have such an option.

Tabs or spaces, pick one. If in doubt, use spaces. ... Shoot, if in doubt, do what PEP 8 tells you.

Did you enable django.contrib.admin in your settings.py INSTALLED_APPS tuple?

Django will only know of python modules (also called 'django app's in django terminology) if you have state them in the INSTALLED_APPS tuple in your django project's settings.py file.
