urlpatterns - got 404 error

I am learning Django - a few days old. This is my problem.

http://mylocalhost.com:8000/home/ (stack overflow does not allow localhost so used a dummy full domain - mylocalhost.com instead) works when I have this setting in urls.py

url(r'^home/','signups.views.home')

but does not work when I have this setting in urls.py

url(r'^$','signups.views.home',name='home')

I get the following error. #In the error below read mylocalhost.com as localhost. stackoverflow does not allow use of localhost.

Page not found (404) Request Method: GET Request URL: http://mylocalhost.com:8000/home/

^$ [name='home'] The current URL, home/, didn't match any of these.

My App structure

signups 
   admin.py
   __init__.py
   models.py
   tests.py
   views.py

My views.py

enter code here
from django.shortcuts import render, render_to_response, RequestContext

def home(request):
    return render_to_response("signup.html", locals(),
                           context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Of course it doesn't work. r'^$' matches the empty string. You are accesing with the relative path /home

Either make it also the regex url to be r'^home/$' or simply access localhost:8000/ without the trailing /home
