SyntaxError: EOF while scanning triple-quoted string literal

[Caroline]

Hi,

My programming assignment is to create a library website from using Django in Pycharm but I was experiencing this issue and did not get much help from my teacher.

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url('books/', include('library.urls')),
]

The code above is from the urls.py main window. I am trying to link another urls.py that i created from another location to this one but it kept giving me the SyntaxError: EOF while scanning triple-quoted string literal when i try to run the codes. Any help will be appreciated :)

You need to provide at the very least the stacktrace, and you should really provide enough code to reproduce the issue. As it stands, this would say admin is not defined. Ideally, you would provide the minimal instructions for reproducing the issue (likely ten or fewer lines of code here).

Do you mean that I need to add more codes before the second url statement to define admin? And if so, do you mind suggesting some ways for me to work this out?

No, I'm saying you haven't provided enough information for us to identify the problem, let alone provide any solution. I can't run the code you provided and get the error you describe.

Let me list the whole code out

SyntaxError: EOF while scanning triple-quoted string literal

This is what came out after I ran the program.

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url('books/', include('library.urls')),
]

The code above also stated that I am missing closing triple quotes but the thing is I didnt use any in my coding.

You provided the stracktrace, but we need the code. We can't reliably tell you what to fix in the code without the code.

One suggestion - calling your file "urls.py" might be causing problems because it appears that the library your using has its own "urls.py" (which shows up in your stacktrace). I doubt this is a problem here, but without your code, I'm trying my best to provide anything that might be useful.
