Description

I believe there is an issue with Writing your first Django app, part 2. The directions for adding polls is incorrect.

Edit the mysite/settings.py file again, and change the INSTALLED_APPS setting to include the string polls.apps.PollsConfig. It’ll look like this:

mysite/settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'polls.apps.PollsConfig',

This should read;

Edit the mysite/settings.py file again, and change the INSTALLED_APPS setting to include the string polls. It’ll look like this:

mysite/settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'polls',

If not, the following instructions to execute;

 python manage.py makemigrations polls

will fail with the error

ImportError: No module named apps

Change History (2)

Hmm, that seems to work for me.

But using just polls seems like the old way to activate an app, prior to App loading refcator in Django 1.7: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/releases/1.7/#app-loading-refactor.

Since you refer to the Django 1.9 tutorial, may I ask you to check which version is running with:

$ python -c "import django; print(django.get_version())"

Thanks!
