The Django tutorial is not quite making it for me. This is a very complicated language and all the pieces seem to not match up for me. This I think is my fault and most of it seems to be in the use of the r hat for root and exactly how that points to views, models and dbs. I may get there but it is not easy without someone to be a sort of guide. Each time though I go into settings or one of the other files they get a perception of being more familiar and thus shorter. While doing some of those I say a key set to fals for allow profanity but not sure what all that filter has passed through it.
