Re: Tutorial question

Hey Jeff,

Yes, these methods would go inside of your Poll Class. I'm not sure if the indentation was messed up through e-mail, but make sure that your method body is indented one step deeper than your method signature. For example:

class Poll(...):

    #....

    def __unicode__(self):

        return self.question

You can put these methods anywhere within your Class. I don't believe it will matter on the order at all (when dealing with methods inside of a single class). Good luck!

Hi,

I'm learning Django and Python at the same time.  Going through the Django tutorial (writing your first Django app)

Going smooth until I hit the part where I need to add a unicode method to both Poll and Choice:

def __unicode__(self):

    return self.question

same with the custom methods that are supposed to be added (def was_published_recently(self):

Do these just get stuck onto the end of my class Poll(models.Model):?  like this...

class Poll(models.Model):

question = models.CharField(max_length=200)

pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')

def __unicode__(self):

        return self.question

def was_published_recently(self):

        return self.pub_date >= timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)

I'm not sure what the correct way is to add this code to the python classes I created earlier in the polls/models.py

Any ideas?

thanks,

Jeff
