This is worth a review. When somebody requests a page from your Web site -- say, ""/polls/23/"", Django will load this Python module, because it's pointed to by the ROOT_URLCONF setting. It finds the variable named urlpatterns and traverses the regular expressions in order. When it finds a regular expression that matches -- r'^polls/(?P\d+)/$' -- it loads the function detail() from polls/views.py. Finally, it calls that detail() function like so: detail(request=, poll_id=''23') The poll_id='23' part comes from (?P\d+). Using parentheses around a pattern ""captures"" the text matched by that pattern and sends it as an argument to the view function; the ?P defines the name that will be used to identify the matched pattern; and \d+ is a regular expression to match a sequence of digits (i.e., a number). I suggest you change the poll_id to 1, 2, or 3 as this is what a user has setup in the tutorial previously. poll_id = '23' will bring up the 404 code. Not a big deal, but when just starting out, it is nice to see things work. Patrick" Uncategorized closed Documentation 1.4 Normal wontfix Unreviewed 0 0 0 0 1 0
