Issue on the code in the documentation

I have made this tutorial and there was an issue loading the model or queryset in the class.IndexView. After defining the Poll.model it worked. Thanks for this nice comminity and all the work. Keep going ;)

Hi,

Do you mean that the import statements are missing at the top of the code?

As mentionned in the introduction at the top of the page, part 5 of the tutorial builds on part 4 where the IndexView should have been defined already and that part has all the correct imports from what I can tell: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial04/#amend-views

I'm not sure that reproducing all the imports in this section of part 5 would be so beneficial (but I'm open to hear your point of you if you disagree).

However, I think there's one simple improvement we could make:

In the section you linked to, the "Tutorial 4" link points to the top of the page, but it could be easier for the reader if it pointed to the paragraph where the view has been defined, which is this one: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial04/#amend-views

So I'm going to mark this ticket as accepted for this reason.

Thanks for your feedback!
