Hello world is not showing, I think I did all steps correctlly

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

from . import views

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



from django.http import HttpResponse

def hello_world(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello World")

[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

Hi Zishen,

Please ensure that you always use markdown to properly format your code when submitting a question. You can find a link to the markdown cheatsheet below the text entry box when you are creating/editing a question.

Cheers

Alex

I was having this same problem and found that my workspace was missing some text from the preloaded code in the urls.py file.

  1. Was missing "include" form this line:

    from django.conf.urls import include, url

  2. I also saw that my views.py file was in the pycache folder and not the learning_site folder.
