Outdated Instructions - admin.py is not created from 1.6 onwards

[vincentwoon@…]

Following documentation needs to be updated for 1.6:

1. Tutorial 1 -> startapp does not create admin.py

URL: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial01/
Documentation Text: "python manage.py startapp polls"

2. Tutorial 2 -> admin.py is not present in folder.

URL: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial02/
But where’s our poll app? It’s not displayed on the admin index page.
Documentation Text: "Just one thing to do: we need to tell the admin that Poll objects have an admin interface. To do this, open the polls/admin.py file, and edit it to look like this:"

Can you double-check the version of Django you're using?

This ticket describes exactly the behavior of Django < 1.6.

I'm using 1.6.1.

admin.py is not created when I run "startapp".

Inline image 1

However the documentation for 1.6 assumes that admin.py still gets created.

Inline image 2

Part 2 assumes that polls/admin.py can be found, when in reality we need to create the file from scratch.

Inline image 3

Let me know if I have missed out anything.

I just tried startapp with 1.6.1 and admin.py was correctly created.

I suspect your installation mixes Django 1.5 and 1.6, and manage.py / django-admin.py don't point to the same version as import django.

What does manage.py --version return?

[woonzai]

aaugustin - Thanks! You are correct. My manage.py --version returns 1.5.1.

Apologies all for the inconvenience caused.
