Description

Brand new to Django and I'm going through your excellent tutorial, and unless I missed a step there is a small bug in the code in part 3 of the tutorial here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial03/

Specifically, this chunk under the heading "Use the template system":

<h1>{{ poll.question }}</h1>
<ul>
{% for choice in poll.choice_set.all %}
    <li>{{ choice.choice }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

Unless I'm mistaken in the loop it should be choice.choice_text instead of choice.choice. When I changed it to choice.choice_text the choice text appeared in the output.

Actually, this looks correct to me. On the 1.4 branch the Choice model is declared with a "choice" field while it was changed to "choice_text" in the dev branch (1.5). Perhaps you started on the dev branch for step 1 of the tutorial and ended up on the 1.4 branch for step 3?
