confused in tutorial 03 about location of mysite/urls.py

[jason@…]

Working through the tutorials, I got stuck for a while in this section:

​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial03/#write-your-first-view

Where it asks you to create mysite/urls.py I made the mistake of creating it at the top level of mysite rather than in mysite/mysite/urls.py this led to lots of 404 errors and head scratching.

For a novice like me, it was not clear which mysite directory to put the file in. Please consider making it a little more explicit

thanks.

In the development version of the documentation, we've added headers with file names on each code block. I think this should help clarify things.

Given the recurrence of the confusion, and after some recent new feedback and agreement in the Documentation Workshop at DjangoCon Europe 2024, this is being worked on in #35502.
