如何满足direct_to_template的导入？

Question

我从最初的Pinax 0.7项目中收到错误页面：

ImportError at /

它停在的行urls.py:3是：

from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template

如何更改导入或使用该导入的区域：

    urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', direct_to_template, {
        "template": "homepage.html",
    }, name="home"),

看起来我可以在主页上创建一个执行render_to_response（）的视图，但是我想知道我应该如何解决它，如果没有人告诉我一种更好的方法，请改用该视图。

direct_to_template已不推荐使用。在django 1.5中，尝试在中使用基于类的视图urls.py

from django.views.generic import TemplateView

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='homepage.html'), name="home"),
)

有一个关于迁移到1.4版本的一些信息（当它被废弃）这里。
