Django web page shows error when running server

I have just started a Django project and spun up a web server. I have made minimal changes which I will post below. When I start my server, I am given a url which I click on to navigate to my web app. I see the following error Error message

I am running python manage.py runserver to run my server

Following are the only changes I have made to the files:

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'pages.apps.PagesConfig',
]

urls.py

from django.urls import path
from .views import HomePageView

urlpatterns = [
path('', HomePageView, name='home'),
]

urls.py in the project folder

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

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('pages.urls'))
]

views.py

from http.client import HTTPResponse
from django.http import HttpResponse

def HomePageView(request):
    return HTTPResponse("Hello Django")

You have the wrong import, this is how it should be written to avoid the error,

from django.http import HttpResponse

def HomePageView(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello Django")

Notice I removed your first import line and changed the return statement.
