Documentation at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/howto/static-files
/#serving-files-uploaded-by-a-user-during-development suggests amendments
to urls.py
If you followed the "Writing your first Django app" tutorial over here
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/intro/tutorial01/, you may end up
with two files {{{mysite/urls.py}}} and {{{polls/urls.py}}} and likely to
make the above amendment to {{{polls/urls.py}}}, which is incorrect. The
files in that case get uploaded to {{{polls/media/images}}} and then
cannot be served (404). The documentation should make it clear the
amendment needs to be done in {{{mysite/urls.py}}}.
For a person writing Django code for the very first time this is not
obvious. I resolved the issue with the help of Django IRC community.
