Hello,
I set up the virtual environment variable for Django 1.8 as per the instructions in the Django tutorial (1.8) and the (almost) matching 1.7 tutorial on PythonAnywhere. When I go into Bash and follow the instructions to check the Django version it confirms that I have version 1.8. installed.
I am up to part 3 in the Django tutorial at this URL:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/intro/tutorial03/
In mysite/urls.py the tutorial tells me to write this:
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
]
However, when I actually opened the file I was presented with this:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'mysite.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
The tutorial then has this to say:
Doesn’t match what you see?
If you’re seeing admin.autodiscover() before the definition of urlpatterns, you’re probably using a version of Django that doesn’t match this tutorial version. You’ll want to either switch to the older tutorial or the newer Django version.
As I said though, Bash confirms that I Do have Django 1.8 installed. What am I missing here? Why do I not have the correct files for Django 1.8 even though that's what I supposedly installed? It was definitely taking a few minutes to copy files, so where did it put them?
I tried to make the files match the tutorial files, but it only resulted in an error appearing on my public site.
I also just checked. The files I am seeing don't even match version 1.7.
