Django return string from URL dispatcher

Question

Is there any way to return 'hello world' string from bare django project (without creating app and views.py)?

Something like this:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', plaint_text_module, 'Hello World!'),
)

Answer 1

You can add inline lambda (or view callable for that matter):

from django.http import HttpResponse

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', lambda request: HttpResponse('Hello World!'), name='hello_world'),
)
