Django, AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute

Question

Excuse me for my english. I start Django Project (I'm beginner on Django & Python) with Django Rest Framework.

My project :

# tree -I 'env'

My project (Hugs) urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url, include
from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'^', include('api.urls')),
]

My app (api) urls.py :

from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views

urlpatterns = ['',
    url(r'^snippets/$', views.snippet_list),
    url(r'^snippets/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', views.snippet_detail),
]

My app views (api/views.py) :

from django.shortcuts import render

# Create your views here.

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt
from rest_framework.renderers import JSONRenderer
from rest_framework.parsers import JSONParser
from api.models import Snippet
from api.serializers import SnippetSerializer

class JSONResponse(HttpResponse):
    """
    An HttpResponse that renders its content into JSON. 
    """
    def __init__(self, data, **kwargs):
        content = JSONRenderer().render(data)
        kwargs['content_type'] = 'application/json'
        super(JSONResponse, self).__init__(content, **kwargs)

    @csrf_exempt
    def snippet_list(request):
        ....
        ....

Error :

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'snippet_list'

Callstack :

Thanking you in advance ! :)

Good day !

Answer 1

snippet_list should not be defined inside JSONResponse: unindent it.

Note that Django has provided a JSONResponse class since 1.8, there is no need to define your own.
