Description

The documentation needs to be fixed (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/shortcuts/#get-list-or-404)

get_list_or_404 is not equivalent to doing:

def my_view(request):
    my_objects = MyModel.objects.filter(published=True) if not my_objects:
        raise Http404

because my_objects is a queryset but the function will return a list.
