Answer 1

There is 2 definitions:

HttpResponse in django

HTTPResponse in python.

You are using the python class with the django init argument style: HTTPResponse("hello Nikhil").

So make sure you use the right import statement AND pay attention to the HTTP and Http:

from django.http import HttpResponse

Just for information

1. Python Definition:

class HTTPResponse(io.BufferedIOBase):
    def __init__(self, sock, debuglevel=0, method=None, url=None):

1. Django Definition:

class HttpResponse(HttpResponseBase):
    def __init__(self, content=b'', *args, **kwargs):
