Python Error: name 'admin' is not defined

Question

I am creating a Python application in Django for the first time. I know that I must uncomment the admin tools in the urls.py, I have done that. I have also added autodiscover. Everytime I try to add a new feature to the administration panel, I get this error:

"NameError: name 'admin' is not defined"

Here is the code I am using in my model to add to the admin panel:

class ChoiceInline(admin.StackedInline):
    model = Choice
    extra = 3

    class PollAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fieldsets = [
        (None,               {'fields': ['question']}),
        ('Date information', {'fields': ['pub_date'], 'classes': ['collapse']}),
    ]
    inlines = [ChoiceInline]

here is the code in the python terminal I am using

admin.site.register(Poll, PollAdmin)

and here is the code from my urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'iFriends.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^iFriends/', include('iFriends.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    )

Anyone have any idea why it cannot find the admin name?

EDIT

Here is my entire model file:

from django.db import models

class Poll(models.Model):
    question = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.question
    def was_published_recently(self):
        return self.pub_date >= timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)

    class Choice(models.Model):
    poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll)
    choice_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    votes = models.IntegerField()
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.choice_text


#COMMENTED OUT UNTIL I FIX THE ADMIN NAME
from django.config import admin

class ChoiceInline(admin.StackedInline):
    model = Choice
    extra = 3

    class PollAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fieldsets = [
        (None,               {'fields': ['question']}),
        ('Date information', {'fields': ['pub_date'], 'classes': ['collapse']}),
    ]
    inlines = [ChoiceInline]

#ADD THIS TO THE MAIN PYTHON FUNCTION
admin.site.register(Poll, PollAdmin)

Solution 1

from django.config import admin should be from django.contrib import admin

Solution 2

at the top of your **url.py** file, add the following code

from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

So it that particular block should look something like the following

---

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
**from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()**

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
# from django.contrib import admin
# admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'examplesite.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^examplesite/', include('examplesite.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    #url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
**url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),**

)

Solution 3

i change my urls.py like this... this should be the basic format

from django.conf.urls import  include, url
from django.contrib import admin

admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = [
     url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    ]

Solution 4

Well after an long, agonizing quest to fix this stupid problem, I FINALLY came across the answer! Another Django programmer ran into the same problem and found this:

IN THE PARENT OF ChoiceInLine (which you'll see as 'admin.StackedInline' in the tutorial), THE L IN StackedInline SHOULD NOT BE CAPITALIZED ... It's as simple as that ... thankyou SO much Karen Tracey ...

Does this answer the question? StackedInline seems to be capitalized correctly in the question.
