documentation/tutorial1 corrections

[mikeal@…]

First off, I love the way you guys write documentation.

Some issues with ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial1/

• At this point you should probably change 2005 to 2006
• once you define Poll.was_published_today() you need to import datetime into your model.
• the way your example writes Poll.was_published_today() gives me an attribute error (OSX 10.4.6, python 2.4.3),

I believe you want to use is;

def was_published_today(self):
    return self.pub_date.day == datetime.now().day

• All the shell interaction responses are off (they look like they are in namespaces now), probably because they were changed recently, what I get is

<Choice: Not much>
<Choice: the sky>
<Poll: What's up?>

Thanks for the comments. A little feedback..

1. Changing the date seems to not matter very much. It's not that confusing, surely.
2. We already import datetime, about five lines above where was_published_today is defined in the tutorial.
3. Your change to was_published_today is only correct if you do from datetime import datetime. We do import datetime and date is a method of the datetime module (and now() is not).
4. All the shell responses in the tutorial are indeed wrong. There was a patch and then it was postponed temporarily and then it fell through the cracks. This portion (fixing the output) is the last bit of #1724 and that will be fixed shortly.

So I think we can close this one off. But thanks for the feedback, in any case.
