Django error : takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given

I'm trying to set up django on an EC2 ubuntu instance.

In my view I have:

from django.shortcuts import render, HttpResponse
import requests


def test(request):
    return HttpResponse('hi')

urls.py have:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'tp.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
    url(r'^index/$', 'tp1.views.index', name='index'),
    url(r'^test/$', 'tp1.views.test', name='test'),    

    # url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

I'm getting the error above. What am I doing wrong?

edit;

in this code:

 urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'tp.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
    url(r'^index/$', 'tp1.views.index', name='index'),
    url(r'^test/$', 'tp1.views.test', name='test'),    

    # url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

change the brackets into square brackets:

urlpatterns = patterns['',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'tp.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
    url(r'^index/$', 'tp1.views.index', name='index'),
    url(r'^test/$', 'tp1.views.test', name='test'),    

    # url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
]

The code in your question looks fine, but the test() view function takes one positional argument (request), so the code in your question is not the code that raised that exception.

Did you leave out any code (maybe you re-defined test later in the views.py file)? Is that code at the top from tp1/views.py or some other file?
