Re: Tutorial 2 admin Template not found
I got the svn version, and "installed" from it into my Python2.5.1 - on Windows... After reading this, I looked at the site-packages/django/contrib/admin directory -- it was missing the media and templates directories... I gave up, and svn'd into my Python area too (and all seems well now). Is there a problem w/ the install script I wonder?

Line 44 is an error: unless you've defined it (you didn't), there is no
"write()" - it seems like you took someone's comment too literally: I
imagine something like this was said "To save a wiki page, you have to ...
um save it somehow, you know - print(), or write(), or something!" ---
and you put print(), and write() in your code, without understanding why
you were doing that.
So - contents of a wikipage which your program is enabling someone to
create, must somehow persist between visits.
This can happen any number of ways, and you (basically) choose / decide /
design how you will to this.
You can store the contents of the page in:
- a database entry;
- a file
- ..
The "magic" you are not grasping is that, in Django, models are Python
abstractions (representations) of a database table. You (thankfully) don't
have to worry about SQL, or creating a database - just interact with the
model, and all the stuff with the backend (be it sqlite, or some other
database) is magically translated and done for you.
SO - since you are using django models, you are storing to a database.
That means you don't need to use "print" to put some content in some file
(you didn't even connect the content, nor the output destination in your
print statement, so that would have been missing anyway);
That means you don't need to use a file write() method (you didn't have it
associated with a file handle, nor with any content to write, so that
wouldn't work as written anyway -
see http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=write#file.write);
All you need is the model's instance ("page" in your case), and use it's
save() method (not unlike you might use a file's write() method) ---
see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/#playing-with-the-api
As for try:/except: --- they need to be in pairs. You put this around
something which you think might sometimes fail (like show a page, but the
page doesn't exist yet). You try; if anything indented under the "try"
fails, the "except" line lists which error names it tries to recover from
(that is, you can have more than one except, each trying to recover from a
certain kind of error). In the case of view_page(), you do a render to
"create" (did you want a redirect instead?). BTW, the last two lines
under except need to be out-dented (lines 21-22) - when they are, you will
see that you have done "content = page.content" twice in a row: once under
the "try" clause, and once again, right after the "try" clause (that is,
right after it just succeeded). Pick a place to put this, and have it in
one place (I would do it outside the "try").
Hopefully, this gives you a start at understanding what you have, what you
are trying to do.
