python - having trouble configuring Django on the atom editor for a Mac computer

Question

I am trying to set up Django the newest version with python 3 and I keep getting errors about the path way. this is what it is saying and the following is my configurations. Note: I have uninstalled and installed and even wrote it to the exact way their website directs with no luck. it just changes around the error.

terminal:

Answer 1

This exception is unrelated to your django installation, and has nothing to do with filesystem paths.

You simply need from django.urls import path before using the path function.
