Django URL give me space between root and included urls

So I create an url in root/project/urls.py with this lines
from django.conf.urls import include
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('users/', include('app.urls'))
]
while in my root/app/urls.py
from django.urls import path
from .views import UserView, AuthenticationView
urlpatterns = [
path('register/', UserView.as_view()),
path('auth/', AuthenticationView.as_view()),
]
So it is expected to give me http://localhost:8000/users/register and http://localhost:8000/users/auth urls.
Meanwhile my request doesn't behave as expected.
apparently it returns me a space between the root path and include path. I check my root/project/settings.py file I don't find any weird settings. Does anybody know what is going on?

The space is just for displaying how the URL is built up, on the debug screen only.
I have experienced the same and at first I too thought Django somehow added the space. In the end it really is that there is no match between the URL's specified and the URL in your browser. Safari doesn't display the full url, so error can happen quickly...
Some additional info on urls in Django can be found here.

The error message in your screenshot states that the request URL is http://localhost:8000/users does not exist.
Here you redirects /users/ to app.urls:
path('users/', include('app.urls'))
But in app.urls, you never included a pattern for when the URL ends with only "/users/". Instead, "/users/register/" and "/users/auth/" are both specified.
urlpatterns = [
path('register/', UserView.as_view()),
path('auth/', AuthenticationView.as_view()),
]
So http://localhost:8000/users/register and http://localhost:8000/users/auth should be valid URLs, but http://localhost:8000/users is not.
You can add another URL pattern for when the URL ends at "/users/":
urlpatterns = [
path('', AuthenticationView.as_view()), # maybe the same as /auth/ ?
path('register/', UserView.as_view()),
path('auth/', AuthenticationView.as_view()),
]
In conclusion, Django's actually not wrong about that page does not exist (404), it's because you hadn't match http://localhost:8000/users in any of the urlpatterns.

Have you tried to use regular expressions?
path(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls)
Otherwise in the Django 2 version the urls schema has been changed, I use url function instead the path function, that can be a possible fix for your problem

Django redirecting everything to homepage

I'm stuck with a Django project, I tried to add another app called login to make a login page but for some reason the page just redirects to the homepage except for the admin page
For example: 127.0.0.1:8000 will go to the homepage but 127.0.0.1:8000/login will also display the homepage even though I linked another template to it.
Here is my code:
main urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^', include('portal.urls')),
url(r'^login/', include('login.urls')),
]
login urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^login/', views.index, name="login"),
]
login views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
def index(request):
return render(request, 'login/login.html')
portal urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^', views.index, name="portal"),
]

I see 2 problems here:
As #DanielRoseman mentioned above, the regular expression ^ matches anything, so you should change it to ^$.
When you use an include, the rest of the path after what the include matched is passed to the included pattern. You’ll want to use ^$ in your login urls.py too.

You don't terminate the portal index URL, so it matches everything. It should be:
url(r'^$', views.index, name="portal"),

In addition, if the regex is login/$ but you enter http ://server/login, then it won't match wheras http://server/login/ will.
You could try changing the regex to login/*$, which will match any number (even zero) / on the end of the url.
So http: //server/login, http: //server/login/, http: //server/login//// would all match.
Or if you want to be specific, login/{0,1}$ might work (though that regex syntax is from memory!)

Polls application -- django tutorial not working

I followed the instructions in the tutorial
I made one change for debugging, here are the files:
mysite1\urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^abc/', include('polls.urls')),
url(r'^polls/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
]
File: mysite1\polls\urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url
from .import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^&', views.index, name='index'),
]
Now if I go to the site http://127.0.0.1:8000/polls/ then it shows the login page same as going to the site http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/.
However, if I go to the site http://127.0.0.1:8000/abc/ it gives me the following:
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/abc
Using the URLconf defined in mysite1.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^abc/
^polls/
^admin/
The current URL, abc, didn't match any of these.
You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.
Can someone guide me what I am doing wrong?

In mysite1\polls\urls.py It should be
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
Notice that your code had an & instead of $. $ indicates a end-of-string match character.

I had a few issues with this, maybe it'll help someone. My VS code was running python 2.7 so the first line on page urls.py in the web project folder (not the polls folder) I had to change to "django.conf.urls import include, url" from "from "django.urls import include, path". I had to include .conf. and urls, path was not working and it was not working without "conf".
Another issue I had on this same page is I had to correct it to "urlpatterns = [url('', include('hello.urls'))..." from "urlpatterns = [path('', include("hello.urls"))". Path was not working so I got this to work.
The third thing is, Notice that there is a '' in the code. It should be blank otherwise when you go to url http://127.0.0.1:8000/ it doesn't redirect to views.py in the polls folder.
I hope this helps someone. Thanks

Django Python Page not found (404)

I just started my journey with Django and I can't figure out what I did wrong. Sorry for that simple question.
inz/urls.py
urlpatterns = [
url(r'', include('planner.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),]
planner/urls.py
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.main_page),
url(r'^/student/$', views.student, name='student'),]
And my href in base.html:
Student
And my error:
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/student/
Using the URLconf defined in inz.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^$
^/student/$ [name='student']
^admin/
The current URL, student/, didn't match any of these.

Remove the leading slash from ^/student/$:
url(r'^student/$', views.student, name='student'),
FYI, in the URL dispatcher docs there is a related example:
There’s no need to add a leading slash, because every URL has that. For example, it’s ^articles, not ^/articles.

Django urls.py: url doesn't work properly

I'm developing a webpage with Django.
I want to add/define an url for the application.
At this moment the url (dsvd/) doen't work properly. It shows only table data but no css and background.
here is the code for the main urls.py file.
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'kleedkamer_overview.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^', include('kleedkamer_overview.urls')),
url(r'^dsvd/', 'kleedkamer_overview.views.indeling'),
)
and here the code inside the application urls.py file
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from kleedkamer_overview import views
urlpatterns = patterns ('',
url(r'^$',views.indeling, name='indeling'),
)
Is there anyone who can help me find the problem?
Greetz.

It looks like line is giving you trouble:
url(r'^dsvd/', 'kleedkamer_overview.views.indeling')
It seems like you are trying to map this URL to kleedkamer_overview.views.indeling but the URL regrex does not end with a '$'. Urls.py files that are mapped to other apps look like this:
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls))
Notice the include function call and that the regrex expression r'^admin/' does not end with a $
However mapping to a specific view is a bit different and it looks like this:
url(r'^$', 'kleedkamer_overview.views.home', name='home')
Notice that this time, where the include() function call would go you are instead telling Django which specific view you want to use and that the site regrex is r'^$' ending with a $.
Try changing this:
url(r'^dsvd/', 'kleedkamer_overview.views.indeling')
to this:
url(r'^dsvd/$', 'kleedkamer_overview.views.indeling')
Edit:
I saw your comments and while the urls.py is not the source of your problem, what I said is still valid because the urls.py was malformed. You should not even have the offending line there at all because you have already included the urls.py from kleedkamer_overview , there is no need to include it twice. It isn't DRY and it is just bad practice in general. This is why this still works despite being malformed because sites are looked for in order, in this case first it looks for /admin then / and does not reach /dsvd because it was already caught by / and your malformed url mapping is NEVER reached.
