Generated code contains deprecated function, `django.conf.urls.patterns()`

[salym]

The <project>/urls.py file generated by running the startproject management command contains an invocation of the above function.That function appears to have been deprecated as per (​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/urls/) document.

Am running django 1.8.2 final 0 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Hi,

I can't reproduce the behavior you're describing: when I generate a new project with Django 1.8.2, the urls.py file has no mention of patterns().

Can you make sure you're using the correct version?

There were some mentions of this function in the comments at the top of the file but those were fixed in #24635 (and the changes are already part of Django 1.8.2).

Thanks.

Below is the sequence of commands I ran and it still happens for me, after installing the latest django with pip v7:

$ mkdir issue_tester
$ cd issue_tester/
$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python
$ .env/bin/pip3 install --upgrade pip
$ .env/bin/pip3 install django
$ vim .env/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/init.py # to confirm django is 1.8.2
$ django-admin startproject issue_tester .
$ vim issue_tester/urls.py # the contents of this file are in the attached file. You'll notice patterns() is imported and invoked

Am I just doing something wrong?

I think you should be using .env/bin/django-admin rather than simply django-admin.

It seems that you have an older version of Django installed globally. You can confirm by doing django-admin --version.

Yes @bmispelon, you're right. I was referencing an older django-admin. Works fine now. I should've double-checked. Sorry about that and thanks for your time.
