Description (last modified by Ramiro Morales)

In Chapter 3 Design your urls section, the urlpatterns assignment seems to miss the admin url patter from the assignment:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^polls/$', 'mysite.polls.views.index'),
    (r'^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/$', 'mysite.polls.views.detail'),
    (r'^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/results/$', 'mysite.polls.views.results'),
    (r'^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/vote/$', 'mysite.polls.views.vote'),
)

Perhaps it's because the next step is to move that section to the polls directory, but it may lead people to overwrite the admin section unaware.

Ugh... Sorry for the close. This isn't a duplicate of #6190, and moreover #6190 looks bogus. Reopening.

The admin views are not included in the urls.py on purpose. Including them would result in ViewDoesNotExist exceptions when trying to convert URLs to views, because the polls views haven't been written yet. This means the admin is not available until all the views are written (at the end of the section before Use generic views: Less code is better in the fourth part of the tutorial).

Adding a sentence that tells the reader to put the admin views back in when all the views are written (and maybe explaining why they were temporarily taken out?) would perhaps prevent confusion.

Came across this too - as a new user reading the tutorial I got stumped. Wasn't sure whether to copy verbatim or leave it the admin pattern in there.

This was addressed independently in r10727 by just not dropping the admin line from the list. If it turns out people get confused trying to access admin before they've created the views to match what they've put in urls.py then we can add a note about that later.
