I noticed you are importing your project name, are you invoking your
"python manage.py shell" from within your project folder? If you are,
try the following:
project_folder/python manage.py shell
>>> from polls.models import Poll
>>> dir(Poll)
The above should show you that "was_published_today" method in a
list. Try to call the method again:
>>> Poll.objects.get(pk=1).was_published_today()
