I am getting an error page from an originally Pinax 0.7 project:

The line it is balking on, urls.py:3, is:
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
How can I change either the import or the area where it's used:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', direct_to_template, {
"template": "homepage.html",
}, name="home"),
It looks like I can create a view that does a render_to_response() on the homepage, but I'd like to know how I should be solving it, and fall back on that if no one tells me a better way.
direct_to_template has been deprecated. In django 1.5 try using a class based view TemplateView in urls.py
from django.views.generic import TemplateView
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='homepage.html'), name="home"),
)
There's some information on migrating to version 1.4 (when it was deprecated) here.
