I\'m a newbie in Django and just started looking at it before a day by installing Django 1.10 on my local.
I\'ve followed all the instructions of this link https://d
I had the same problem as described. Running a Windows machine.
It turned out, that the virtual environment I was using had not been configured properly (or maybe I had forgot to activate it before installing Django) and the interpreter and django-admin were fetched from the wrong path by CMD.EXE.
If it appears as if Django is "ignoring" your urls.py - try deleting everything, re-creating the virtual environment, activating it and re-installing Django afterwards.
Hope this helps.
