Django 1.10 no longer allows you to specify views as a string (e.g. ‘django.views.static.serve’) in your URL patterns.

The solution is to update your urls.py to include the view callable. This means that you have to import the view in your urls.py. If your URL patterns don’t have names, then now is a good time to add one, because reversing with the dotted python path also no longer works.

Update your code like this :

from django.views.static import serve
from django.conf.urls import url, patterns

urlpatterns = [

  url(r'^docs/wiki/',serve, {'document_root': base.DOCS_ROOT, 'path': 'index.html'},name = "wiki1"),
  url(r'^docs/wiki/(?P<path>.*)$', serve, {'document_root': base.DOCS_ROOT},name = "wiki2"),
  ]
