It seems that you are trying to print urlpattern instead of urlpatterns. Are you sure this is correct?

To print urlpatterns you have to:

  • From urls.py you should be able to print it directly because urlpatterns is defined here.

  • From views.py you have to import the right urls.py file based on where it is. If you want to import the main urls.py then from project_name.urls import urlpatterns. If you want to import the urls.py of an app then from project_name.app_name.urls import urlpatterns.

NOTE: Remember explicit is always better than implicit, so instead of from testproject.urls import * is better from testproject.urls import urlpatterns
