Getting a No reverse match for 'course'

Just until 5:27, everything was working properly, I ran django and is started showing me a no reverse match for course at /' . Here's my code:

layout.html:

{% load static from staticfiles %}
{% load course_extras %}
<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/layout.css' %}">
        {% block static %}{% endblock %}
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="site-container">
            <div>{% nav_course_list %}</div>
            <nav>
                <a href="{% url 'views.hello_world' %}">Home</a>
                <a href="{% url 'courses:list' %}">Courses</a>
            </nav>
          <p>Don't miss our newest course, {% newest_course %}</p>
            {% block content %}{% endblock %}
        </div>
    </body>
</html

course_extras.py:

from django import template

from courses.models import Course

register = template.Library()


@register.simple_tag
def newest_course():
  '''Get the recent course from the courses library. '''
  return Course.objects.latest('created_at')

@register.inclusion_tag('courses/course_nav.html')
def nav_course_list():
  ''' Returns a list of courses to display as nav pane. '''
  courses = Course.objects.all()
  return {'courses': courses}

and course_nav.html:

{% for course in courses %}
  <div><a href="{% url 'course:detail' pk=course.pk %}">{{ course.title }}</a></div>
{% endfor %}

Any sggestions ?

Here's learning_site/url.py:

"""learning_site URL Configuration

The `urlpatterns` list routes URLs to views. For more information please see:
    https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/http/urls/
Examples:
Function views
    1. Add an import:  from my_app import views
    2. Add a URL to urlpatterns:  url(r'^$', views.home, name='home')
Class-based views
    1. Add an import:  from other_app.views import Home
    2. Add a URL to urlpatterns:  url(r'^$', Home.as_view(), name='home')
Including another URLconf
    1. Add an import:  from blog import urls as blog_urls

Your namespace is set to courses but the url is trying to look up course:detail

Post back if this doesn't fix it.

Indeed, thanks a lot ? ? ? !!

I came across the same problem, but still, don't know how to deal with it with this information.

Can you tell me how to modify?
