redirect to another view function

As users login I'd like to redirect them simply to index instead of having '/login/' in the url.

I have two view functions one for login and index.

index view

def index(request):

    context = {

    }
    return render(request, 'index.html', context)

login view

def login(request):

    username = request.POST.get('username', '')
    password = request.POST.get('password', '')

    user = auth.authenticate(username=username, password=password)

    if user is not None:
        auth.login(request, user)
    else:
        print('Wrong user') 

    return redirect('index') #<------ Something like that(?)

url patterns

urlpatterns = [
            url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),

            url(r'^login/$', views.login, name='login'),      
]

Console error:

# views.py
def login(...):
    # ...
    return redirect('home')

and:

# urls.py
urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', 'views.index', name='home'),
    # ...
]
