Description

In tutorial 02, Writing your first Django app, part 2, typing in 

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'polls.apps.PollsConfig',
   ....

will cause an ImportError: No module named 'polls.apps.PollsConfig'; 'polls.apps' is not a package

This is resolved by instead putting

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'polls',
   ....

Hi,

Since Django 1.9, the startapp command will generate an apps.py file so the instructions should be correct.

Is it possible that you're using an older version of Django (python manage.py --version will tell you)? If so, you either need to update Django (1.10 is the latest version) or follow the documentation that corresponds to the version of Django you're using (you can switch versions at the bottom-right hand corner).

Thanks.
