Description (last modified by Aymeric Augustin)

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/signing/

In this page, which is about signing, enumerates several examples about how to use it. When it comes to that handling Exception, to be specific,

>>> value += 'm'
>>> try:
...    original = signer.unsign(value)
... except signing.BadSignature:
...    print "Tampering detected!"

I found that these lines failed, the error shows signing.BadSignature is not defined, I tested a while, and then I knew,

from django.core import signing

is required. The example miss that. I don't know if that count as a mistake. Besides, the information about previous line is so scarce in reference, do I need to check the source code?

Yes -- it's a good practice to include relevant imports in code samples.
