Ya, what you suggest for settings.py is what I did. I just wanted to
make sure that I wasn't doing something wrong in my order of
operations for creating my project and app.
I'm most of the way though part two of the tutorial and have run into
three places where I needed to remove "mysite." from in front of the
reference to polls. Once for the settings.py like you mentioned and
twice for the two tables in the admin.py in the second part of the
tutorial. It seems to me it's just a "bug" in the tutorial.
Thanks for the reply
