Tutorial part 4 - get_queryset()

Hi,

I'm new and going through the tutorial and I'm having trouble understanding how the get_queryset() function in the IndexView is called, is this just an automatic part of using generic views?

I had a look elsewhere in the documentation, primarily at generic views, and other examples seem to include either just creating a model attribute or directly assigning a queryset attribute as well as defining a get_queryset function.

Aside of not being clear on how the get_queryset() function is called, I'm now wondering what benefit the function has over just doing a 'queryset =' assignment.

Some help in understanding how this fits together would be most appreciated.  My project works just fine, I just don't quite understand how it works.

Regards,

  Tony
