Well that didn't come out how I typed it, which helped me solve the
problem!! and now this should also be formatted properly??
Hi, This is what I have written:
----------------------------------From Geany editor-----------------
from django.db import models
# Create your models here.
import datetime
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_today(self):
return self.pub_date.date() == datetime.date.today()
class Choice(models.Model):
poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll)
choice = models.CharField(max_length=200)
votes = models.IntegerField()
def __unicode__(self):
return self.choice
-----------------------------------------------------
it now works... i figured it out because my previous message did not
format properly. Geany was adding tabs and spaces for indentation.
If you set it to spaces (width 4) it works!!
So my initial code was right, it's just the indentation though it
looked right was in tabs instead of spaces!?!
Thanks!!
Hope this helps anyone else having problems!
p.s. should it be four spaces per indent (instead of tabs) for python
in general, or is this a Django thing?
