Aim: Build projectoxford into raspberrypi3 - https://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/jsturtevant/Setting-up-Project-Oxford-for-Python-on-Windows

I have reached the steps of: 

pi@raspberrypi:~/happy-image-tester-django $ source env/bin/activate
(env) pi@raspberrypi:~/happy-image-tester-django $ python manage.py runserver
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 16, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named 'django'

After which, I tried to download django module by using 

pip install django

However, after downloading django, when I try to run python manage.py runserver, I have unhandled exception. The results are as shown below.

(env) pi@raspberrypi:~/happy-image-tester-django $ python manage.py runserverPerforming system checks...

A check online (https://github.com/jgiannuzzi/taiga-contrib-saml-auth/issues/1) told me that url.py is now fix but I have no idea why it doesnt work still. Other online checks shows that patterns have been deprecated after Django version 1.10; I tried to debug according to the results found online but all could not work for me. I have listed out some of the codes I've tried below.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38786036/importerror-cannot-import-name-patterns states that I can use from django.conf.urls import include, url instead of django.conf.urls import patterns, url ; but after editing accordingly, my error results are as follows:

I have also tried changing the url.py as follows by uncommenting the 

"from django.conf.urls import include
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()"


"""
Definition of urls for HappyOrMad.
"""

from datetime import datetime
from django.conf.urls import pattern, url

# Uncomment the next lines to enable the admin:
from django.conf.urls import include
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
   # Examples:
   url(r'^$', 'app.views.home', name='home'),
   url(r'^upload','app.views.upload', name='upload'),

   # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
   # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

   # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
   # url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

The original url.py file is as follows:

"""
Definition of urls for HappyOrMad.
"""

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

# Uncomment the next lines to enable the admin:
# from django.conf.urls import include
# from django.contrib import admin
# admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    url(r'^$', 'app.views.home', name='home'),
    url(r'^upload','app.views.upload', name='upload'),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    # url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

After editing the url.py with the code provided, the error is as follows:

One of the questions you linked actually does point to the answer: in Django 1.8, the patterns function became obsolete, and was replaced with a normal Python list.

The correct urls.py would be as follows:

from datetime import datetime
from django.conf.urls import url
from app.views import home, upload

# Uncomment the next lines to enable the admin:
# from django.conf.urls import include
# from django.contrib import admin
# admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = [
    # Examples:
    url(r'^$', home, name='home'),
    url(r'^upload', upload, name='upload'),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    # url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
]

Note that the import to patterns has been removed, and patterns('', ...) has been replaced by a list, which is denoted by [ ... ].

Django 1.8 wasn't released until April 2016, whereas the video you're following is from February 2016. If you didn't want to perform any code changes, you could instead just install an outdated version of Django:

pip install django==1.7.11

I'd recommend the method above of fixing the code, though, as the more recent versions of Django come with more security patches and bug fixes.

  • Thank you for your reply! I have tried changing the url.py file as accordance of the code you gave, but I have the error as edited in my post ;((

    @GoodCodes Looks like another issue related to using a relatively new version of Django. I've edited with the fix, or alternatively you can try the old code and install an older version of Django instead. I suspect you might bump into more issues with using a 'too new' version of Django, so it might be worth just using the old version of Django if this fix doesn't work.

  • Thank you so much!!! It works now, or so I believe? :') The errors they gave me now is that of migration error as shown in the post above and the remove django warning: You have unapplied migrations; your app may not work properly until they are applied. Run 'python manage.py migrate' to apply them. Would these matter later as I am looking to modify this application? @Aurora0001

  • You do need to run the migrations (these set up the database used by the web app you want to run, so not running it will probably cause it to fail later on). As the warning suggests, just run python manage.py migrate to solve that and you should be good to go after that.

  • Ohh icic, hmm, but nothing happens after python manage.py migrate right? Because nothing happen after I typed that, it just goes to a blank next line. By the way, from the website given on the first sentence of this post, at about 4:27, the author opens the activate.bat file by using code env; here's the link for this question: raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/77899/… I would appreciate your help greatly if you could take a look at it please! Thank you x1000000! @ Aurora0001
