I missed something. The create_question call is a def defined earlier in
the class.

def create_question(question_text, days):
"""
Creates a question with the given `question_text` and published the
given number of `days` offset to now (negative for questions
published
in the past, positive for questions that have yet to be published).
"""
time = timezone.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=days)
return Question.objects.create(question_text=question_text,
pub_date=time)

this code throws an error : Method 'create_question - polls.tests'
should have self as first parameter.

Here again, the code seems to be identical to that in the tutorial.
Adding self to the def clears this problem but does not clear the rest
of the errors. The def doesn't seem to be working.
