I am beginner in django and following a tutorial. got import error even after typing the exact code. here is the code

views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render
def index(request):
    return render(request, 'learning_logs/index.html')
urls.py:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from  . import views
urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'',include('learning_logs.urls', namespace ='learning_logs')),
    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
app urls:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from learning_log import views
app_name = 'learning_logs'
urlpatterns = [
    #HomePage
    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
    url(r'^topics/$',views.topics, name='topics'),
    # Detail page for a single topic
    url(r'^topics/(?P<topic_id>\d+)/$', views.topic, name='topic'),
    url(r'^new_topic/$', views.new_topic, name='new_topic'),
error
ImportError: cannot import name 'views' from 'learning_log' (C:\Users\hhh\PycharmProjects\learning_log\learning_log\learning_log\__init__.py)
                You probably skipped through the part where urls.py is created for the app. The urls.py you shared here belongs to project, and with include statement, you must include urls.py of your app. Then in the app's urls.py you can import views.

This is happening due to that the current folder don't have any views.py file.
from . import views 
This means you are looking for views.py in current folder which isn't available right now. You can try this:
from your_appname import views
                @Batoota if that's not what you are looking for, then kindly share your directory screenshots ;)
