Django 1 10 no longer allows you to specify views as a string  e g   myapp views home   in your URL patterns   The solution is to update your urls py to include the view callable  This means that you have to import the view in your urls py  If your URL patterns don t have names  then now is a good time to add one  because reversing with the dotted python path no longer works   from django conf urls import include  url  from django contrib auth views import login from myapp views import home  contact  urlpatterns         url r      home  name  home        url r  contact     contact  name  contact        url r  login     login  name  login        If there are many views  then importing them individually can be inconvenient  An alternative is to import the views module from your app    from django conf urls import include  url  from django contrib auth import views as auth views from myapp import views as myapp views  urlpatterns         url r      myapp views home  name  home        url r  contact     myapp views contact  name  contact        url r  login     auth views login  name  login        Note that we have used as myapp views and as auth views  which allows us to import the views py from multiple apps without them clashing   See the Django URL dispatcher docs for more information about urlpatterns

You may also get this error if you have a name clash of a view and a module  I ve got the error when i distribute my view files under views folder   views view1 py   views view2 py and imported some model named table py in view2 py which happened to be a name of a view in view1 py  So naming the view functions as  v table request id   helped

This error just means that myapp views home is not something that can be called  like a function  It is a string in fact  While your solution works in django 1 9  nevertheless it throws a warning saying this will deprecate from version 1 10 onwards  which is exactly what has happened  The previous solution by  Alasdair imports the necessary view functions into the script through either      from myapp import views as myapp views    or     from myapp views import home  contact

Your code is  urlpatterns         url r       myapp views home        url r  contact      myapp views contact        url r  login      django contrib auth views login        change it to following as you re importing include   function    urlpatterns         url r      views home       url r  contact     views contact       url r  login     views login
