NameError: name 'mezzanine' is not defined

Got the error while trying to set the url for "homepage for a blog-only site"

I also imported the view function in my urls.py like this:
`from future import unicode_literals

from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.conf.urls.i18n import i18n_patterns
from django.contrib import admin
from django.views.i18n import set_language

from mezzanine.blog import views
from mezzanine.core.views import direct_to_template
from mezzanine.conf import settings

admin.autodiscover()

Add the urlpatterns for any custom Django applications here.

You can also change the home view to add your own functionality

to the project's homepage.

urlpatterns = i18n_patterns(
# Change the admin prefix here to use an alternate URL for the
# admin interface, which would be marginally more secure.
url("^admin/", include(admin.site.urls)),
)

if settings.USE_MODELTRANSLATION:
urlpatterns += [
url('^i18n/$', set_language, name='set_language'),
]

urlpatterns += [
# We don't want to presume how your homepage works, so here are a
# few patterns you can use to set it up.

# HOMEPAGE AS STATIC TEMPLATE
# ---------------------------
# This pattern simply loads the index.html template. It isn't
# commented out like the others, so it's the default. You only need
# one homepage pattern, so if you use a different one, comment this
# one out.

#url("^$", direct_to_template, {"template": "index.html"}, name="home"),

# HOMEPAGE AS AN EDITABLE PAGE IN THE PAGE TREE
# ---------------------------------------------
# This pattern gives us a normal ``Page`` object, so that your
# homepage can be managed via the page tree in the admin. If you
# use this pattern, you'll need to create a page in the page tree,
# and specify its URL (in the Meta Data section) as "/", which
# is the value used below in the ``{"slug": "/"}`` part.
# Also note that the normal rule of adding a custom
# template per page with the template name using the page's slug
# doesn't apply here, since we can't have a template called
# "/.html" - so for this case, the template "pages/index.html"
# should be used if you want to customize the homepage's template.
# NOTE: Don't forget to import the view function too!

# url("^$", mezzanine.pages.views.page, {"slug": "/"}, name="home"),

# HOMEPAGE FOR A BLOG-ONLY SITE
# -----------------------------
# This pattern points the homepage to the blog post listing page,
# and is useful for sites that are primarily blogs. If you use this
# pattern, you'll also need to set BLOG_SLUG = "" in your
# ``settings.py`` module, and delete the blog page object from the
# page tree in the admin if it was installed.
# NOTE: Don't forget to import the view function too!

 url("^$", mezzanine.blog.views.blog_post_list, name="home"),

# MEZZANINE'S URLS
# ----------------
# ADD YOUR OWN URLPATTERNS *ABOVE* THE LINE BELOW.
# ``mezzanine.urls`` INCLUDES A *CATCH ALL* PATTERN
# FOR PAGES, SO URLPATTERNS ADDED BELOW ``mezzanine.urls``
# WILL NEVER BE MATCHED!

# If you'd like more granular control over the patterns in
# ``mezzanine.urls``, go right ahead and take the parts you want
# from it, and use them directly below instead of using
# ``mezzanine.urls``.
url("^", include("mezzanine.urls")),

# MOUNTING MEZZANINE UNDER A PREFIX
# ---------------------------------
# You can also mount all of Mezzanine's urlpatterns under a
# URL prefix if desired. When doing this, you need to define the
# ``SITE_PREFIX`` setting, which will contain the prefix. Eg:
# SITE_PREFIX = "my/site/prefix"
# For convenience, and to avoid repeating the prefix, use the
# commented out pattern below (commenting out the one above of course)
# which will make use of the ``SITE_PREFIX`` setting. Make sure to
# add the import ``from django.conf import settings`` to the top
# of this file as well.
# Note that for any of the various homepage patterns above, you'll
# need to use the ``SITE_PREFIX`` setting as well.

# ("^%s/" % settings.SITE_PREFIX, include("mezzanine.urls"))

]

Adds STATIC_URL to the context of error pages, so that error

pages can use JS, CSS and images.

handler404 = "mezzanine.core.views.page_not_found"
handler500 = "mezzanine.core.views.server_error"
