Re: Django timezone doesn't show the right time?

I see I am talking about concepts which are not yet familiar to you.

By template I mean Django's HTML template engine. This is introduced
in part 3 of the tutorial.

The reason for the errors is that Poll is not an instance, it is the
class so it doesn't have pub_date. poll isn't assigned to yet. You
could do poll = Poll.objects.all()[0], and then poll would be assigned
the first Poll object instance, fetched from the database.
