Django python - Module not found

Question

I am a newbie so I might have done something stupid. running python 3.3 and Django 1.6.2.

When I run the local server via command line, this is the error I receive "P/1.1 404 1712" and error on the browser is "module not found" and the exception location direct me urls.py line 22;

document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

this is a part of urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls import static



from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    url(r'^$', 'signups.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

)


if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL,
                          document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

    urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL,
                          document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

This is how my settings.py looks:

# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/static-files/

STATIC_URL = '/whattheheck/static/'

# Template location
TEMPLATE_DIRS = {
    os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "whattheheck", "static", "templates"),

}

if DEBUG:
    MEDIA_URL = '/whattheheck/media/'
    STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "whattheheck", "static", "static-only")
    MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "whattheheck", "static", "media")
    STATICFLIES_DIRS = (
        os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "whattheheck", "static", "static")

    )

Can someone help please?

You forgot one static in the import statement, see the documentation:

from django.conf.urls.static import static
                    # ^^^^^^ this one

Right now, it tries to use the static module as a function but obviously, it does not work. The error 'module' object is not callable is raised when you are trying to use a module object (for example os, sys or any third-party) as a callable (with a __call__ method).
