Description
Following documentation needs to be updated for 1.6:
- Tutorial 1 -> startapp does not create admin.py
URL: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial01/
Documentation Text: "python manage.py startapp polls"
- Tutorial 2 -> admin.py is not present in folder.
URL: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial02/
But where’s our poll app? It’s not displayed on the admin index page.
Documentation Text: "Just one thing to do: we need to tell the admin that Poll objects have an admin interface. To do this, open the polls/admin.py file, and edit it to look like this:"

I'm using 1.6.1.
admin.py is not created when I run "startapp".
Inline image 1
However the documentation for 1.6 assumes that admin.py still gets created.
Inline image 2
Part 2 assumes that polls/admin.py can be found, when in reality we need to create the file from scratch.
Inline image 3
Let me know if I have missed out anything.

I just tried startapp
with 1.6.1 and admin.py was correctly created.

I suspect your installation mixes Django 1.5 and 1.6, and manage.py / django-admin.py don't point to the same version as import django
.
What does manage.py --version
return?

aaugustin - Thanks! You are correct. My manage.py --version returns 1.5.1.
Apologies all for the inconvenience caused.
Can you double-check the version of Django you're using?
This ticket describes exactly the behavior of Django < 1.6.
