For the tutorial and the default `urls.py` I like the use of a dotted string rather than an import; it's one less thing to do. Other than that, should we generally prefer one style over another? I can imagine that a dotted string might sometimes help avoid a circular import or have related advantages, but otherwise they seem to behave in just the same way.",Bug,closed,Documentation,1.8,Normal,fixed,,,Accepted,0,0,0,0,0,0
