What I'm trying to do is make the website redirect to www(eg"example.com" to "www.example.com")
I used pip to install django_hosts, and then followed the documentation on the website
Here is my settings.py file:
""" Django settings for mysite project. Generated by 'django-admin startproject' using Django 1.9.

from django.conf import settings from django_hosts import patterns, host host_patterns = patterns('', host(r'www', settings.ROOT_URLCONF, name='www'), #host(r'(\w+)', 'path.to.custom_urls', name='wildcard'), ) When I run python manage.py runserver I get the following error:
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: WSGI application 'mysite.wsgi.application' could not be loaded; Error importing module: 'No module named 'django_hosts.middleware.HostsRequestMiddlewaredjango'; 'django_hosts.middleware' is not a package'
What am I doing wrong?!
