I'm working through the book "The Definitive Guide to Django" and am stuck on a piece of code.
This is the code in my settings.py:
ROOT_URLCONF = 'mysite.urls'
I have the following code in my urls.py
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from mysite.views import hello, my_homepage_view
urlpatterns = patterns('', ('^hello/$', hello),
)
urlpatterns = patterns('', ('^time/$', current_datetime),
)
And the following is the code in my views.py file:
from django.http import HttpResponse
import datetime
def hello(request):
return HttpResponse("Hello World")
def current_datetime(request):
now = datetime.datetime.now()
html = "<html><body>It is now %s.</body></html>" % now
return HttpResponse(html)
Yet, I get the following error when I test the code in the development server.
NameError at /time/
name 'current_datetime' is not defined
Can someone help me out here? This really is just a copy-paste from the book. I don't see any mistyping.
