ImportError: No module named 'auth'

In the the urls.py I have

from django.contrib import auth
urlpatterns = [
    path('accounts/',include('auth.urls')),
]

ImportError: No module named 'auth'

But the following works

urlpatterns = [
    path('accounts/',include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
]

Why am I not able to former method?

When you use auth.urls, it aspect that you have an app named auth and you installed it in settings.py. But you don't have auth app.

But when you use django.contrib.auth.urls that means you access Django auth app URLs which already installed. That why it works.
