need from / import

[chwolfe]

In the section in tutorial one,

import datetime

# ...
class Poll(models.Model):

# ...
def was_published_today(self):

return self.pub_date.date() == datetime.date.today()

I think the import line should be:

from datetime import datetime

I am somewhat new to python so maybe I'm doing something wrong.

No, it's correct. The Python standard module datetime contains classes named datetime and date. Doing import datetime makes datetime the _module_ available to you, so the two classes need to be referred to as datetime.datetime and datetime.date.
