title: How can I satisfy an import of direct_to_template?

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The line it is balking on, urls.py:3, is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I change either the import or the area where it's used:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    urlpatterns = patterns('',
      url(r'^$', direct_to_template, {
          "template": "homepage.html",
      }, name="home"),
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It looks like I can create a view that does a render_to_response() on the homepage, but I'd like to know how I should be solving it, and fall back on that if no one tells me a better way.</p>
