Description
At the end of the tutorial, part 3, there is an example of decoupling the app "polls" from the project "mysite".
The URLconf-pattern is written as
urlpatterns = patterns('mysite.polls.views',
This way, the app ist still coupled to the project. I tried
urlpatterns = patterns('polls.views',
and it works!
If this a feature, you should document this in the tutorial and in the URlDispatcher
Thanks for the great product Django

We know about this issue, but it's not as simple as just removing a prefix. We need to do a tutorial rewrite to introduce the idea of reusable apps.
