Django and TinyMCE: NameError: name 'url' is not defined

I am trying to get TinyMCE working in Django. Here is what I did:

Then here it gets tricky:

Add tinymce.urls to urls.py for your project:

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    url(r'^tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),
    ...
]

When I do this, I get this error:

url(r'^tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),  
NameError: name 'url' is not defined

I have tried the following:

None of this helped. Any suggestions?

UPDATE

As per the suggestions, I updated url to path. Now I have a new error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tinymce.urls'

Here is my urls.py:

from django.urls import include, path
from django.contrib import admin

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = [
    path('', include('core.urls')),
    path('tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),
]

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

This error made me doubt if I had installed the plugin correctly. But it seems I have:

pip install django-tinymce4-lite
Requirement already satisfied: django-tinymce4-lite in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages
Requirement already satisfied: Django>=1.8.0 in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from django-tinymce4-lite)
Requirement already satisfied: jsmin in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from django-tinymce4-lite)
Requirement already satisfied: pytz in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from Django>=1.8.0->django-tinymce4-lite)

Error continues with Django==5.0.3; Python 3.11; django-tinymce4-lite==1.8.0. The error message shows us the cause is on line 1 of /root/env/lib/python3.11/site-packages/tinymce/urls.py.

I changed the tinymce/urls as suggested by this Stackoverflow gives solutions. For example, a quick solution is:

### changed april 2024 to handle
###   ImportError: cannot import name 'url' from 'django.conf.urls'
#from django.conf.urls import url
from django.urls import re_path as url

This is not a good long term solution. I plan to submit it tinymcs to see if it needs an update or find out if they have a better solution.

is because he's using django 2 According to the documentation you can use path and re_path example :

from django.urls import path , re_path

urlpatterns = [
     path('tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),

    # or
    #path('tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),

]

Since you are using django 2.0 you should use path instead of url:

from django.urls import path

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),
    ...
]

You can find more details here.
