You should move the `polls/` subdirectory to the outer `mysite/` directory, rather than the inner `mysite/mysite/` directory. The tutorial does actually say this, but admittedly it's easy to miss:

You don't need to `import polls` in your urls.py, since it doesn't actually use the `polls` module, it only has a string reference to that module. Django takes care of importing whatever you pass to `include()` if it's a string reference.
