Comment:
`from polls.models import Choice` does work if you've followed the
tutorial up to that point, and you're running `python manage.py
runserver`, because the directory containing `manage.py` is added to
`sys.path`. So you must be doing something else different from the
tutorial.
Using `from polls.models import Choice`, as the tutorial does, can cause
problems when deploying to production, because it often requires adding
two overlapping paths to `sys.path` in your webserver configuration. This
issue has already been [http://groups.google.com/group/django-
developers/browse_frm/thread/44b70a37ff73298b/0a6836a57eaced1e?lnk=gst&q=cleaning+up#0a6836a57eaced1e
extensively discussed] and is fixed in trunk (r16964).
Using a relative import instead of an absolute one (as you are doing) is
also fine, but you should really make the relative import explicit instead
of implicit by using `from .models import Choice`.
