Forgot to say I'm referring to a fresh install using Pinax starter projects.

So this is what I typed before getting the error:

pip install pinax-cli
pinax start  static mystatic
cd mystatic
pip install -r requirements.txt
./manage.py migrate
...

Hello @h-2-0, I just submitted a patch #70 to hopefully fix this issue. Sorry for the delay. This is what worked for me.

I believe Django >= 2 should be

from django.urls import path
from mystatic import views

urlpatterns = [
    path("<str:path>", views.static_view),
]

I believe Django < 2 should be

from django.conf.urls import url
from mystatic import views


urlpatterns = [
    url(r"^(.*)$", views.static_view),
]
