URL Tags in Django 1.10?

I'm running Django 1.10 but can't get the 'namespace' to work for this tutorial?

I've got this in the root urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.homepage, name='homepage'),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^courses/', include('courses.urls', namespace='course')),
]

And then this in the layout.html

<div class="site-container">
            <nav>
                <a href="{% url 'homepage' %}">Home</a>
                <a href="{% url 'courses:list' %}">Courses</a>
            </nav>
            {% block content %}{% endblock content %}
</div>

However I get this when when trying to load the page?

NoReverseMatch at /
'courses' is not a registered namespace

Tried changing names and debugging it myself but not getting any success!

I think I've got it. I omitted to add the name='list' elements to the urlpatterns in courses>urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.course_list, name='list'),
    url(r'(?P<course_pk>\d+)/(?P<step_pk>\d+)/$', views.step_detail,
        name='step'),
    url(r'(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.course_detail, name='detail'),
]
