Thanks Joshua! I'll fetch the dev version of Django instead. I guess I was confused by the phrases "SVN release" and "official release". I just thought the SVN release would be the official release :p

You are probably using an older version of Django, the tutorial you were following refers to the latest version: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/6457 As for the returning the text thing, same deal. If you go to this page: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial01/ and look at where it explains to do that, it has a little note below it explaining that this wil happen in the older version. If i were you, I'd either upgrade your Django, or start following the 0.96 tutorial from here.

For some reason I found these 2 things not being appropiate as followed in the tutorial: 1) When tried "python manage.py sql polls" I got this TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'max_length'. I could only run it successfully by changing the linea question = models.CharField(max_length=200) to question = models.CharField(maxlength=200) (stripped off the undrescore in "max_length") 2) Continuing down to the "Playing with the API" section, and once I saved some poll objects to the DB, etc I executed the following command as specified in the tutorial: Poll.objects.all() For some reason, the result I get from the shell is >>> Poll.objects.all() [<Poll: Poll object>] Even when I inserted the __unicode__() method in models.py as follows: class Poll(models.Model): question = models.CharField(maxlength=200) pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published') def __unicode__(self): return self.question Anything I'm doing wrong?
