If you see valid patterns in the file then the issue is probably caused by a circular import in django

I am getting this error “If you see valid patterns in the file then the issue is probably caused by a circular import in”. I saw other stack flow questions and I know the error is coming from views.py but I cannot seem to figure out where the error is

views.py/myapp

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse

# Create your views here.
def index(request):
    return HttpResponse('<h1>Hey,Welcome</h1>')

urls.py/myapp

from django.urls import path
from myapp import views

urlpattern = [
    path('',views.index, name='index')
]

urls.py/myproject

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

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

Performing system checks...

Exception in thread django-main-thread:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:Usersanaconda3libsite-packagesdjangourlsresolvers.py", line 698, in url_patterns
    iter(patterns)
TypeError: 'module' object is not iterable

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: The included URLconf '<module 'myapp.urls' from 'E:\projects\django\myproject\myapp\urls.py'>' does not appear to have any patterns in it. If you see the 'urlpatterns' variable with valid patterns in the file then the issue is probably caused by a circular import.

Answer

Could you please just change urlpattern to urlpatterns in urls.py/myapp and see if that solves your problem.
