I'm now on the 1.2 tutorial, but a similar error message is coming up. The
urls.py file is
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from polls.models import Poll
info_dict = {
'queryset': Poll.objects.all(),
}
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$', 'django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list', info_dict),
....
The error message is
ViewDoesNotExist at /polls/
Could not import polls.views.django.views.generic.list_detail. Error was: No
module named django.views.generic.list_detail
List_detail is clearly there in the django/generic folder.
Cheers, Bob

Hi Bob,
It sounds like you're using the 1.3 or later version of the tutorial.
Class-based generic views were added in 1.3. Try this link for the correct
version:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/intro/tutorial01/
(Note the 1.2 in the URL.)
Hope that helps,
Brett
