Exception Type: TypeError at /stu/class/
Exception Value: 'module' object is not callable

I'm following tutorial on DRF and I'm trying it on my own demo app, everything works fine except when attempting to add the 'root_api' view in my views.py file, it immediately raises above exception.

I want to make a single entry point for all my views as in the tutorial.

I don't know why it shows this behaviour as I'm using namespacing in my urls also. Is I'm doing wrong somewhere?

Please! help me to Fix it....

Thanks! in Advance.....

You missed something in the imports. It's not

from rest_framework import reverse

but

from rest_framework.reverse import reverse
