6550	"tutorial part 4 - Use generic views not equivalent to ""the hard way"" results"	alexandre.dupas@…	Vegpuff	"In the fourth part of the tutorial, when using generic views to replace the previously presented ""hard way"" code, the obtain result is not equivalent.

Indeed, the hard way shows only 5 polls on the ""index"" page. The generic way shows all of the possible results.

It would be useful to present the exact same behavior using the both approaches.

A possible answer to that request would be to use an extra select_dict initialized with

{{{
select_dict = {
    'queryset': Poll.objects.all().order_by('-pub_date')[:5],
}
}}}

and modify the first urlpatterns with 
{{{
(r'^$', 'django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list', select_dict),
}}}

As I am a beginner with django (and Python too) it might exist a better solution but at least this one works.
