Hello, I am posting because I am working on the Django documentation
tutorials and am currently on the testing portion
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/intro/tutorial05/).
In this tutorial where we are building the polls application, there is a
portion where we wish to restrict what pages will render a 404 error based
on certain conditions, such as whether the the pole has a past or future
publication date. This is done using the get_queryset() function. They do
this for both the index page and the detail page.
I assume most people answering this question would be familiar and have
worked through this tutorial. What I am trying to do is prevent polls
showing up on the index page or having a detail page based on how many
choice options they have (obviously, there is no point of showing a poll
with 0 or 1 options).
Currently my code looks like this in polls/view.py
#################################################
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404, render
from django.urls import reverse
from django.views import generic # for the generic views
from django.utils import timezone
from .models import Choice, Question
class IndexView(generic.ListView):
template_name = 'polls/index.html'
context_object_name = 'latest_question_list'
#def get_queryset(self):
# return Question.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
def get_queryset(self):
queryset =
Question.objects.filter(pub_date__lte=timezone.now()).order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
queryset = [question for question in queryset if
question.choice_set.count() >=2]
return queryset
class DetailView(generic.DetailView):
model = Question
template_name = 'polls/detail.html'
def get_queryset(self):
"""
Excludes any questions that aren't published yet or have zero
choices.
"""
queryset = Question.objects.filter(pub_date__lte=timezone.now(), )
#queryset = [question for question in queryset if
question.choice_set.count() >=2]
return queryset
##################################################
The issue is this code works perfectly fine for the index page, but when I
uncomment the line in the get_queryset() function in the DetailView, I
obtain this error for any question.

I am still new to this and I assume it may be due to the difference between
the generic Listview and the generic DetailView, or some issue with how the
content of the html templates polls/detail.html or polls/index.html is
rendered but I have no previous experience with html and only understand
Python in principle without working on any previous big projects like this.
Any help would be appreciated.
