Could you please post a link to this resource ? > I am running into some > problems with the current_datetime function I am trying to set up. When, in > views.py I insert the "datetime.datetime.now()" statement and "import > current_datetime" into my urls.py file If your import statement is actually "import current_datetime", then the book is wrong, Python imports dont work that way. You either import a module then use a qualified name to access the module's symbols, ie: from myapp import views now = views.current_datetime() or import a symbol from a module and use it directly, ie: from myapp.views import current_datetime now = current_datetime() of course the module (or the package containing the module) must be in your pythonpath. for more about the import statement, see * http://docs.python.org/release/2.7/tutorial/modules.html and * http://docs.python.org/release/2.7/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-import-statement > but it's been > a real puzzle for me to be honest:/ Anybody have any tips on how to solve > this error?
