This is my second time going through the <a href="http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial1/";>Django tutorials</a>. The first time I ran through the whole process on my dreamhost server without any errors. This time I'm using the local development server on my computer (Mac OS X v10.4.6 / Python 2.4)
In <a href="http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial1/";>tutorial one</a>, you are to define a simple Poll model as well as a Choice model. Everything works fine (able to access and save records via the API) until I try to add a __str__() method to represent the model. <code><pre> from django.db import models class Poll(models.Model): question = models.CharField(maxlength=200) pub_date = models.DateTimeField('Date Published') def __str__(self): return self.question </pre></code> Once I add this simple representation and start the Python Interactive Prompt I get syntax errors (prooject name is webmules): <code><pre> >>> from webmules.polls.models import Poll, Choice Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in ? File "/Users/swm/Sites/webmules/../webmules/polls/models.py", line 8 def __str__(self): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> </pre></code> What's odd is if I remove the method and add an inner Admin() class, like: <code><pre> from django.db import models class Poll(models.Model): question = models.CharField(maxlength=200) pub_date = models.DateTimeField('Date Published') class Admin: pass </pre></code> I get syntax errors when I start the development server: <code><pre> Django version 0.95 (post-magic-removal), using settings 'webmules.settings' Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ Quit the server with CONTROL-C. [24/Jun/2006 13:21:02] "GET /admin/ HTTP/1.1" 200 2753 Validating models...

Slightly hackish.

It seems like anything I add to my models breaks everything else. Has anyone ever seen anything like that? Apologies for the long message, just wanted to be thorough.
