Description
I had problems, and it sounds like it's fairly common, figuring out how to pass information to the generic views. I propose the following patch which reports an improperly set app_label as:
ImportError: Unable to import app_label "poll": No module named poll
And if the module_name is bad, it reports:
ImportError: Unable to import module_name "user": No module named user (available choices: ['Event', 'User', 'View', '_MODELS', 'builtins', 'doc', 'file', 'name', 'events', 'meta', 'users', 'views'])

These strange import errors should no longer be a problem now that magic-removal has merged.
