Re: IndentationError :Unexpected Indent

Ditto from what Andreas said - Python is very sensitive to indentation.  If the method 'was_published_recently' is part of the Poll model, then there should be the same amount of indentations before 'def was_published...' as for the 'def __unicode__' method.  Then, for uniformity's sake (even though it is technically not necessary), the 'return self.pub_date...' line should also have the same number of indents FROM the indent where the 'def was_published...' method line starts (in this case 3), like so:

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)

This is to indicate it is IN the 'was_published_recently' method.
Cheers.

 I have been following up on the tutorial on Python version 1.6 and I got stuck at an indentation error I can't seem to debug. Its under the first tutorial of creating Django application and I modified my polls\models.py file to look like this;

from django.db import models

import datetime

from django.utils import timezone

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)

class Choice(models.Model):

    poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll)

    choice_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    votes = models.IntegerField(default=0)

def __unicode__(self):  

        return self.choice_text 

I keep getting an error at that line that starts with "def was_published_recently.." and can't seem to debug the error. Can anyone kindly help me here? I'm stuck. :(
