.. admonition:: Make sure your views are all correct



    As part of working out which URL names map to which patterns, the

    ``reverse()`` function has to import all of your URLConf files and examine

    the name of each view. This involves importing each view function. If

    there are *any* errors whilst importing any of your view functions, it

    will cause ``reverse()`` to raise an error, even if that view function is

    not the one you are trying to reverse.



    Make sure that any views you reference in your URLConf files exist and can

    be imported correctly. Do not include lines that reference views you

    haven't written yet, because those views will not be importable.
