that error message is a little confusing - if, for example, you have a url 
pointing to a view that doesnt exist, you get a message like 'module views' 
does not exist.

I wrote "pattenrs" instead of "patterns" and the sure did crash. But
instead of crashing and reporting a Syntax Error exception it reported
a failure to do a reverse lookup, which I found to be confusing.

Thanks,

what type of syntax error? I put an extra comma in my urls file and the app 
promptly crashed.

Why Syntax Errors in URLconf are Silent?

[Guy Rutenberg]

Hi,

I've included a app specific URLconf in my main URLconf file. I had
some syntax errors in the included URLconf file, however instead of
throwing an exception about the syntax error, an exceptions was thrown
when I've tried to use the "reverse()" function on the URLs of the
included URLconf.

It took me some time to find out what was the real problem, because
the syntax errors where silent. Is there some reason Django silences
the errors in URLconf files?

I've used the development server and had DEBUG=True

Thanks,

Guy
