Django Value Error

I am reading the book "Tango with Django".

I tried to access a jpg file via URL. I get this error:

File "/home/studpro/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/staticfiles/finders.py", line 61, in __init__
prefix, root = root ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

My settings.py looks like this:

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))) 
TEMPLATE_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')
STATIC_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'), 

# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [STATIC_DIR,]

I am running Django 1.10.08 and Python 2.7.

Anyone has a clue what could be the mistake?

You have a trailing comma on this line

STATIC_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
#                                            ^

It causes STATIC_DIRto be a tuple instead of a string, which then makes STATICFILES_DIRS a list of tuples instead of a list of strings.

Delete that comma.
