Django Python: global name 'render' is not defined

I am getting an error in my Django project, and it looks like it's coming from my views.py file:

from django.template.loader import get_template
from django.template import Context
from django.http import HttpResponse
import datetime

def get_date_time(request):
    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    return render(request, 'date_time.html', {'current_date': now})

Error: global name 'render' is not defined

What can I do to solve this?

Solution:

t = get_template('document.html')
html = t.render(Context({'variable': value}))
return HttpResponse(html)

If you are following the Django tutorial and have this error but already have the import, it could be because the web server needs to be reloaded. The changes in code won't be reflected until runserver is ran again.

You need to import render from django.shortcuts as it is not a built-in function.:

from django.shortcuts import render
