Re: Advanced Tutorial (how to write reusable app), last step does not work

hi,guys

  u should read this content: 

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.0/intro/tutorial04/

We're using two generic views here: object_list() and object_detail(). Respectively, those two views abstract the concepts of "display a list of objects" and "display a detail page for a particular type of object."

• Each generic view needs to know what data it will be acting upon. This data is provided in a dictionary. The queryset key in this dictionary points to the list of objects to be manipulated by the generic view.
• The object_detail() generic view expects the ID value captured from the URL to be called "object_id", so we've changed poll_id to object_id for the generic views.
• We've added a name, poll_results, to the results view so that we have a way to refer to its URL later on (see the documentation about naming URL patterns for information). We're also using the url() function fromdjango.conf.urls.defaults here. It's a good habit to use url() when you are providing a pattern name like this.

By default, the object_detail() generic view uses a template called <app name>/<model name>_detail.html. In our case, it'll use the template "polls/poll_detail.html". Thus, rename your polls/detail.html template to polls/poll_detail.html, and change the render_to_response() line in vote().

Similarly, the object_list() generic view uses a template called <app name>/<model name>_list.html. Thus, renamepolls/index.html to polls/poll_list.html.

Because we have more than one entry in the URLconf that uses object_detail() for the polls app, we manually specify a template name for the results view: template_name='polls/results.html'. Otherwise, both views would use the same template. Note that we use dict() to return an altered dictionary in place.

I am a new newbie to Django.  Great tutorial BTW.  I followed it to the T and 99.9% worked.
Except the last step in the Advanced tutorial, the step 3 in 'Using your own package'.
I could see http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ and create polls without any problem.
But http://127.0.0.1:8000/polls/ would give me the following error.

I see there are two problems.
1. /Users/nnn/django_exercises/mysite/templates/polls/index.html is the wrong location, it should be $$/django_polls/polls/templates/polls/index.html.
2. What is polls/poll_list.html?  Nowhere in the tutorial ever created this file, no?

Thanks for any advice.
