Hi,
Thanks for continuing to follow up on this. Something is definitely
happening now. I went ahead and put this into my views.py:
from django.shortcuts import render
def items(request):
item_list=Item.objects.all()
return render(request, 'myapp/items.html', {'item_list':item_list},
content_type="text/css")
And now when I try to load the page, I get the following error:
ImproperlyConfigured at /diseases/
Module "django.core.context_processors" does not define a "tz" callable
request processor
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/diseases/
Django Version: 1.3.1
Exception Type: ImproperlyConfigured
Exception Value:

Did something happen to my context.py file? Here it is:

Also, as you can see from the error message above, I am currently
using Django 1.3.1.
thanks,
Guillaume
