Description

As reported via the contact form (thanks Tom R.!), people completing the tutorial often get stuck in Part 5 when running their first tests

​https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14719883/django-can-not-get-a-time-function-timezone-datetime-to-work-properly-gett

The issue is that there is an import line hiding in Part 2 "Playing with the API" where imports are added to the polls/models.py that are often missed, generating a different error when running the tests than what is expected by that part of the tutorial.

I already have a patch for this :)
