Unable to import path from django.urls

The reason you cannot import path is because it is new in Django 2.0 as is mentioned here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/urls/#path.

On that page in the bottom right hand corner you can change the documentation version to the version that you have installed. If you do this you will see that there is no entry for path on the 1.11 docs.

You need Django version 2

pip install --upgrade django
pip3 install --upgrade django

python -m django --version # 2.0.2
python3 -m django --version # 2.0.2

Use url instead of path.

from django.conf.urls import url

urlpatterns = [
    url('', views.homepageview, name='home')
]
