beginner whitespace question

[eggie5]

I keep getting an error for line 7, what's wrong with this?

from django.db import models

class Poll(models.Model):
question = models.CharField(max_length=200)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')

def __unicode__(self):
return self.question

def was_published_today(self):
return self.pub_date.date() == datetime.date.today()

class Choice(models.Model):
poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll)
choice = models.CharField(max_length=200)
votes = models.IntegerField()

def __unicode__(self):
return self.choice

will they still be a part of the classes?

But this still isn't valid:

from django.db import models

class Poll(models.Model):
question = models.CharField(max_length=200)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')

def __unicode__(self):
return self.question



class Choice(models.Model):
poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll)
choice = models.CharField(max_length=200)
votes = models.IntegerField()

def __unicode__(self):
return self.choice

I'm so confused, I have no idea what's going on...
