I see I am talking about concepts which are not yet familiar to you. By template I mean Django's HTML template engine. This is introduced in part 3 of the tutorial.

You could do poll = Poll.objects.all()[0], and then poll would be assigned the first Poll object instance, fetched from the database. - Anssi On May 1, 9:45 pm, Dan Santos <dansanto...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi thanks for taking the time to explain to me! > > Unfortunately I still don't understand the outputs that I get in Python > console, maybe it's because I don't understand the concept of templates. > But this is what I tried to do in Python console. > > >>> p=Poll(question="Giddeup'ah!", pub_date=timezone.now()) > >>> p.save() > >>> p.id > 4 > >>> p.question > "Giddeup'ah!" > >>> *p.pub_date* > > datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 1, *18, 25*, 39, 804854, tzinfo=<*UTC*>) > > >>> *Poll.objects.all()* > > [<Poll: Waddup'ah? 2012-04-26 08:39:20.605340+00:00>, <Poll: What's up? > 2012-04-26 10:30:23.624835+00:00>, > <Poll: How do you do? 2012-04-26 20:34:33.337247+00:00>, <Poll: Giddeup'ah! > 2012-05-01 *18:25*:39.804854*+00:00*>] > > p.pub_date and Poll.objects.all() show the same time info, so how do I see > the time with the simplest of templates? > > Also when I tried typing "poll.pub_date" in different ways I get these > errors. > > >>> *Poll.pub_date* > > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<console>", line 1, in <module> > AttributeError: type object 'Poll' has no attribute 'pub_date' > > >>> *poll.pub_date* > > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<console>", line 1, in <module> > NameError: name 'poll' is not defined > > >>> *poll.pub_date()* > > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<console>", line 1, in <module> > NameError: name 'poll' is not defined > > >>> *Poll.pub_date()* > > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<console>", line 1, in <module> > AttributeError: type object 'Poll' has no attribute 'pub_date' > > Here's a better overview of what my relevant files looks like and what > setup I have tried to use.
