Trying to trace a circular import error in Django

Question

I understand circular import error has been asked about a lot but after going through these questions I haven't been able to solve my issue. When I try to run my server in Django its giving me this error message:

The included URLconf module 'accounts_app' from path\to\myproject\__init__.py does not appear to have any patterns in it. if you see valid patterns in the file then the issue is probably caused by a circular import.

The issue started when i added a new app which has a urls.py like the following

from django.conf.urls import url from . import views  urlpatterns = [     url(r'^signin$', views.signin, name='signin'),     url(r'^signout$', views.signout, name='signout'),     url(r'^signup$', views.signup, name='signup'), ] 

My project urls.py has a line which points to the app and looks like the following code

urlpatterns = [      url(r'^accounts/', include('accounts_app')), ] 

My view looks like the following:

from django.shortcuts import render from django.http import HttpResponse  def signin(request):     return HttpResponse("<p>This the signin view</p>")  def signout(request):     return HttpResponse("<p>This the signout view</p>")  def signup(request):     return HttpResponse("<p>This the signup view</p>") 

Can anyone please help me identify were I could possibly be going wrong.

Answer 1

for those who have the same error but still hasn't debugged their code, also check how you typed "urlpatterns"

having it mistyped or with dash/underscore will result to the same error
