Typo / Error in Tutorial

[yak-man <yarkot1@…>]

at the end of: [tutorial01]​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial01/

...the last interactive Python Shell session:

---

In [13]: Poll.objects.filter('''question_startswith'''='What')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
 ....

TypeError: Cannot resolve keyword 'question_startswith' into field. Choices are:
 choice, id, question, pub_date

---

And later in the same debugger session:

---

In [15]: Poll.objects.get('''pub_date_year'''=2007)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

...
TypeError: Cannot resolve keyword 'pub_date_year' into field. Choices are: choic
e, id, question, pub_date

---

Eventually, the bottom of the session has a comment about "...Use double underscores to separate relationships..."

Make a copy of that comment early on please ;-/

Um... the tutorial does have double underscores on those two lookups. Perhaps you misread it?

[yak-man <yarkot1@…>]

yes, the tutorial has double-underscores.... and - YES -- it is VERY easy to miss them... (in the first case, all but impossible to see them)

And YES it would be nice to have a hint, so as not to stumble thru it.

I would have preferred some mention of the "double underscore" convention appearing somewhere at the first use (rather than wading thru backtraces, wondering what went wrong).

Totally agree with this
Do you mean " or because none of this is actually working. Because I miss it too and all the proposal there are invalid

No ! Double underscore is the explaination ""and not "_"

[anonymous]

the question_startswith and pub_date_year are both not working for me. unsure what i am doing wrong
