FYI, you have Django 1.3 and should consider upgrading to 1.5.

Have you tried

from django.conf.urls import patterns

thanks Paul . but i can not upgrade my project to 1.5 . How can i use django-select2 with django1.3.1 – Prashant Gaur Oct 31 '13 at 08:08
@Sonu, fair enough. I'm not sure django-select2 is your problem. Isn't there a stack trace with your error? – Paul Draper Oct 31 '13 at 08:09
Yes i got the problem . django-select2 need only Django 1.4 or above.that's why i am asking you to help me – Prashant Gaur Oct 31 '13 at 08:10
Well, if it needs Django 1.4, you can either ditch django-select2 or upgade to 1.4. Doing anything else would be wasted time. – Paul Draper Oct 31 '13 at 08:14

You'll get this error if you are upgrading to Django 1.8 or above.

Here is the new way to do it without patterns:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/ja/1.9/releases/1.8/#s-django-conf-urls-patterns

urlpatterns = [
    url('^$', views.myview),
    url('^other/$', views.otherview),
]
