Thanks Eric, that did part of the trick !
I had to do create a module to put my models :
-- polls
`-- __init__.py
`-- models.py
-- testdjango.py
with models just containing :
------
from django.db import models
class Poll(models.Model):
question = models.CharField(max_length=200)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
class Meta:
app_label = "polls"
------
and testdjango.py having :
------
import datetime
from django.conf import settings
settings.configure( DATABASE_ENGINE = "sqlite3",
DATABASE_NAME = "./testbase.db",
INSTALLED_APPS = ('polls',))
from django.core.management import call_command
call_command('syncdb', verbosity=2)
from polls.models import Poll
p = Poll(question="What's up?", pub_date=datetime.datetime.now())
p.save()
------
It works, but I would love having everything together. It does not
really matter though, I am still learning.
Thanks again.
