Unable to work with Django API

Hi all,

This is my issue:

After I installed Django and got it somewhat working, I started down
this tutorial: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/

All was going well until I hit the part called "Playing with the API".

I'm doing this in Windows 7 Enterprise.

I don't get what I'm doing wrong... seems like some small silly screw-
up... anyone know what I'm messing up?
