Re: Unable to obtain c.poll

Also when we are taking,

     c = p.choice_set.filter(choice_text__startswith='Just hacking')  >>> c.delete()  

Are we deleting the object or just that filter queryset choice?

Hi Djangoers,

I am almost completing my first tutorial but got stuck at the last point. So I am assigning Choice object to 'c',

c = p.choice_set.filter(choice_text__startswith='Just')

And I am getting this output when I check 'c'

[<Choice: Just Hacking again>]

And I am also getting the right output for 'p'

<Poll: WASSUP!!!!>

But when I am executing,

     c.poll

This is my output,

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>

AttributeError: 'QuerySet' object has no attribute 'poll'

Not sure where I am going wrong?

You're not assigning a Choice object to `c`. You're assigning a queryset (basically, a list) of one Choice objects to c - hence the square brackets when you print it. As the documentation explains, `filter` *always* returns a queryset, even if only one object matches.

You can do c[0] to get the Choice object, or use `get()` instead of `filter()` (although note that will raise an exception if zero or > 1 objects match).
