How can I satisfy an import of direct_to_template?

Question

I am getting an error page from an originally Pinax 0.7 project:

ImportError at /
No module named simple
Request Method: GET
Request URL:    http://stornge.c

Besides the class-based view TemplateView, you can also use the render function like this:

from django.shortcuts import render

urlpatterns = patterns("",
    url(r'^$', lambda request: render(request, 'homepage.html'), name="home"),
)
