I am django newbie , trying to follow a tutorial. When I am trying to access django administration site 

        http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/

it giving the error "Exception Value: No module named urls" for the below code 

    #uls.py
    from django.conf.urls import *
    from mysite.views import *
    # Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:

    # from django.contrib import admin
    # admin.autodiscover()
    #TODO ADD LIST OF URL
    urlpatterns = patterns('',
        (r'^home\/?$',get_homepage),
        (r'^admin\/?$',include('django.contrib.admin.urls')),
    )

I have tried multiple solution aviable on stackover flow @last publishing the issue get it resolved

    #settings.py
    ROOT_URLCONF = 'mysite.urls'
    # Python dotted path to the WSGI application used by Django's runserver.
    WSGI_APPLICATION = 'mysite.wsgi.application'
    TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
        '/home/abuzzar/djcode/mysite/mysite/template',
        # Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or                 "C:/www/django/templates".
            # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
            # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
        )

        INSTALLED_APPS = (
            'django.contrib.auth',
            'django.contrib.contenttypes',
            #'django.contrib.sessions',
            #'django.contrib.sites',
            #'django.contrib.messages',
            #'django.contrib.staticfiles',
            'mysite.jobpost',
            'django.contrib.admin',
            # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
            # 'django.contrib.admin',
            # Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentation:
            # 'django.contrib.admindocs',
        )

error : http://pastebin.com/RMvzPd61

i tried the solution : Django 1.5.1 'ImportError: No module named urls' when running tests but did not worked.

karthikr's answer is the first thing to check. Also make sure your project folder is included in sys.path. I'm trying this while using a development environment (Aptana), and have had to change the workspace folder name to avoid command-line issues (the default workspace folder generated by Aptana is chock-full of spaces: 'Aptana Studio 3 Workspace'). Thus the framework was looking in a folder that didn't exist.

A dumb oversight, to be sure, but if you're as new at this as I am it's at least worth looking at.

Also, be sure not to leave your /admin URL named /admin. I would change it. Otherwise someone can try to brute-force your login or look for holes in your backend. :)

To include admin urls, use this:

from django.contrib import admin

admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

Or, to fix your issue, add site between admin and urls

(r'^admin\/?$',include('django.contrib.admin.site.urls'))

On a general note, I would revisit the URL pattern. ^admin\/?$ should not have the $ at the end since you are including another url conf.

Also, ^admin/ should be sufficient
