Description
"Just one thing to do: We need to tell the admin that Poll objects have an admin interface. Edit the mysite/polls/admin.py file and add the following to the bottom of the file:"
No admin.py is created by python manage.py startapp polls. This should refer to 'mysite/polls/models.py'.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I'm new to Django and was following the tutorial.
I put all the code there into the models.py and it worked, so I was assuming the documentation was in error.
All my other attempts at Django (including buying Practical Django Projects last month) went nowhere due to excessive documentation errors/incompatibilities. I was hoping 1.0 would be different and actually usable...

Btw, as the admin.py file did not exist up to this point, it will be necessary to restart the development server. Might be worth noting.

And do you also need to document how to get the newly created admin.py file included with the rest of your application? Just creating the file and restarting the server does not make it work. I assume it should be included someplace, but where?

Restarting the server should do it. admin.autodiscover() loads the admin.py files for INSTALLED_APPS, and the tutorial already covers adding autodiscover() to urls.py:

has this been completed yet?
No, it should say something like "Create the file mysite/polss/admin.py and add ...". You don't store the admin specific stuff in models.py.
