datetime function used incorrectly in "Writing your first app" part 1

[delaney]

In the second to last code block of Part 1

import datetime
# ...
class Poll(models.Model):
    # ...
    def was_published_today(self):
        return self.pub_date.date() == datetime.date.today()

should be...

from datetime import datetime
# ...
class Poll(models.Model):
    # ...
    def was_published_today(self):
        return self.pub_date == datetime.today()

Otherwise you get the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\eclipse\workspace\mysite\..\mysite\polls\models.py", line 12, in was_
published_today
    return self.pub_date.date() == date.today()
AttributeError: 'datetime.date' object has no attribute 'date'

The line of code you show in the error does not match either of the code blocks you show higher up?

The existing example is correct, really, if you follow it exactly.
