django-admin.py startproject creates urls.py that raises ImportError

[stemaan]

This is the default urls.py file created by above command:

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

from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'plab_django_admin.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),

    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

having such a setup, after running a runserver command leads to:

ImportError: cannot import name patterns

According to ​Feature removed in 1.10

django.conf.urls.patterns() is removed.

Hi,

I think there's an issue with your setup where django-admin.py uses an older version of Django (1.7 by the looks of it) but your project actually uses a more recent (1.10) Django version.

When using Django 1.10, django-admin.py startproject will use correct imports.

Can yo ucheck what django-admin.py --version returns? I'll mark this ticket as invalid for now but please reopen it if it turns out my analysis is incorrect.

Thanks.
