[patch] unhelpful error message when include() set incorrectly

[imbaczek@…]

instead of 'module' has no attribute 'urlpatterns', a more useful error message would be nice to have, as I just wasted 30 mins of time just to notice I forgot to append .urls in an include() in urlconf.

I've patched my django.core.urlresolvers with this:

Index: urlresolvers.py

+                raise AttributeError('urlpatterns in module %s not found, is the parent urlconf correct?'%self.urlconf_module.__name__)
             for pattern in self.urlconf_module.urlpatterns:
                 try:
                     sub_match = pattern.resolve(new_path)

Catch ImpotError & raise ValidationError to clarify location/problem with import

Fixed by re-throwing error with more explicit message.

A slightly different more useful error message has found its way into the trunk already.
