include()

Why this line doesn't work anymore in urls.py from learning_site ?

url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

I get this error :

'provide the namespace argument to include() instead.' % len(arg) django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Passing a 3-tuple to include() is not supported. Pass a 2-tuple cont aining the list of patterns and app_name, and provide the namespace argument to include() instead. If I take out include it works but I can't connect anymore to admin

Have you imported include from urls?

Edit: you must have otherwise you would have a different error.

The namespace admin.site.urls should be a string enclosed in a quotation marks. See docs
