error in tutorial

[cristi.tudose@…]

hi.

Today I have started learn django. It's amazing !!!
But !

URL: ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial01/

polls/models.py

from django.db import models

class Poll(models.Model):

question = models.CharField(max_length=200)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')

class Choice(models.Model):

poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll)
choice = models.CharField(max_length=200)
votes = models.IntegerField()

It's not max_length=200 ! it's maxlength=200

after execution:

devserver # python manage.py sql polls
mysite.polls: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'max_length'
1 error found.
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'max_length'

polls.poll: "question": CharFields require a "maxlength" attribute.
polls.choice: "choice": CharFields require a "maxlength" attribute.

If I'm wrong, excuse me.
I use django on a FreeBSD box. And I installed django from ports.

Thanks !

max_length is a recent change (i.e., post 0.96 release). The tutorial is correct for the current subversion trunk, and the tutorial contains a link to the old 0.96 tutorial.
