django: trying to access my robots.txt: "TypeError at /robots.txt 'str' object is not callable"

Exception Type: TypeError at /robots.txt

Exception Value: 'str' object is not callable

What gives?

Views:

ROBOTS_PATH = os.path.join(CURRENT_PATH, 'robots.txt')


def robots(request):
""" view for robots.txt file """
return HttpResponse(open(ROBOTS_PATH).read(), 'text/plain')

Settings:

CURRENT_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__).decode('utf-8'))

URLs:

(r'^robots\.txt$', 'robots'),

From stackoverflow

• Try:

  from appname.views import robots
  (r'^robots\.txt$', robots), 
  

  Or:

  (r'^robots\.txt$', 'projectname.appname.views.robots'),
  

  Django can't figure out where your 'robots' function is.
