Hi, 

I'm trying to learn Django and Python at the same time. So I realize this 
is a really simple issue for a beginner. But since I'm new to this, I could 
use a little help. 

Basically, I'm going through the tutorial here: 

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/intro/tutorial01/

I have gone through it up to the point where we create the polls app with 
the command: 

python manage.py startapp polls


I then created the models in polls/models.py by cutting and pasting from 
the article. 

Finally, to activate the new model, I went back to my settings.py file and 
added "polls" to my list of installed apps. However, when I run the 
command: 

python manage.py sql polls


I get the following error: 

Michael$ python manage.py sql polls
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>

  File 
"/Users/Michael/dev/projects/python/ape_admin/ape_admin/settings.py", line 
127, in <module>
    polls,
NameError: name 'polls' is not defined

I have a folder called "polls" that is in the same directory as my 
manage.py file. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is there a step 
I'm missing that's not in the tutorial that a Python developer would just 
know automatically? 

Thanks,

Michael
