No, it is very helpful, I know now that I have to learn all of python
and I know now that ... means variable.
I changed because I put save() in my view, per my last post about how
to save data to the db, and didn't not open a python console.
I tried to enter those lines in the pyhton shell starting with the
importing of my class time, but it said there was no module with that
name.
"from intranet.timesheets.models import time" and there is a models.py
and a time class in it? do you think that it is not i my sitepath?
I am still wanting to display data from the db, I was think that
django had something to do it.
So, after I enter those lines in my python shell, How do I put it in
my view or page?
