Don't worry. They're not so hard. Just keep in mind that if you are learning Django and Python simultaneously, you may have to backtrack from time to time. But you can take small steps: set up urls.py to call your view, write a view that does nothing but print "hello", modify the view function to return a 404 page, modify the view function to do what you want, etc. Testing each step will convince you that the right code is being executed. This would be a good place to start for views: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial3/ (well, actually, if you haven't read parts 1 and 2 of that tutorial, you go through them as well, since part 3 builds on the first two). > Also, if I want to have a view that is not tied to any app, how do I > define it in the urls.py file? You can put your views anywhere. The URLConf class is just given a string that it tries to import as a python module (and then call the last thing in the dotted path). Often this string is something like 'myapp.views.display'. But it could just as easily be 'some_other_dir.some_file.display' (which would try to import some_other_dir.some_file and then call display() in that module). There is nothing special about where your views are located, except that they should be importable from your project.
