We are attempting to utilize a web address from Django. Conf. urls, but the ImportError: cannot import name from ‘django.conf.urls’ appears on the Python application. This article will help clarify the situation and suggest alternative solutions. Let’s get started!

ImportError: cannot import name ‘url’ from ‘django.conf.urls’?

After updating, we execute the url in Python and receive the following issue. 

ImportError: cannot import name ‘url’ from ‘django.conf.urls’

How To Solve It?

You must replace url() with repath() to solve the error. So, you need to change url with repath. It should fix your error. Here are specific explanations to help you visualize it.

The Solutions

Solution 1

Django 3.0 discontinued the url, and Django 4.0 no longer supports it. As for that, the simplest solution is to change url() with repath(). Because re path applies regexes similar to url, you need to edit the import and switch url with re path. Here is an example.

For Django 3.0

from django. Conf.urls

For Django 4.0+

from django.urls import include, re_path

Solution 2

However, you may use path instead. Path() does not employ regexes. Thus if you move to it, you’ll need to adjust your URL patterns.

from django.urls import include, path from myapp. views import home urlpatterns

If you have a big project with multiple URL patterns to change, the django-upgrade package might be handy for updating your urls.py directories.

Solution 3

We believe the following methods will provide a quick solution to the problem. You may easily swap out the following.

from django.conf.urls import url

to import re_path as url

and keep the remainder of the code.

Conclusion

The ImportError: cannot import name from ‘django.conf.urls’ occurs as Django no longer supports the application. The simplest solution is to replace url() with repath() or use path() instead, as it does not apply to regexes.
