Removing the undescore from maxlength fixes this. I presume this is a django version skew issue. Perhaps the top of the doc might mention what django version supported? As a django newbie using the latest debian stable, this was confusing. -jpg Traceback (most recent call last): File ""manage.py"", line 11, in ? execute_manager(settings) File ""/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/django/core/management.py"", line 1319, in execute_manager execute_from_command_line(action_mapping, argv) File ""/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/django/core/management.py"", line 1277, in execute_from_command_line mod_list = [models.get_app(app_label) for app_label in args[1:]] File ""/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/django/db/models/loading.py"", line 40, in get_app mod = load_app(app_name) File ""/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/django/db/models/loading.py"", line 51, in load_app mod = __import__(app_name, '', '', ['models']) File ""/home/jpg/poll0/../poll0/polls/models.py"", line 3, in ? class Poll(models.Model): File ""/home/jpg/poll0/../poll0/polls/models.py"", line 4, in Poll question = models.CharField(max_length=200) TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'max_length' jpg@T30:~/poll0$ dpkg -l | egrep ""(deb|python)"" ii debconf 1.5.11etch2 Debian configuration management system ii debconf-i18n 1.5.11etch2 full internationalization support for debcon ii debian-archive-keyring 2007.07.31~etch1 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian archive ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific to Debian ii doc-debian 3.1.5 Debian Project documentation, Debian FAQ and ii gdebi 0.1.6 Simple tool to install deb files ii iptables 1.3.6.0debian1-5 administration tools for packet filtering an ii libapache2-mod-python 3.2.10-4 Apache 2 module that embeds Python within th ii libcaca0 0.99.beta11.debian-2 colour ASCII art library ii libcdparanoia0 3.10+debian~pre0-4 audio extraction tool for sampling CDs (libr ii libcucul0 0.99.beta11.debian-2 low-level Unicode character drawing library ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.11-8 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libsdl1.2debian-alsa 1.2.11-8 Simple DirectMedia Layer (with X11 and ALSA ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-oriented la ii python-apt 0.6.19 Python interface to libapt-pkg ii python-cairo 1.2.0-1 Python bindings for the Cairo vector graphic ii python-central 0.5.12 register and build utility for Python packag ii python-django 0.95.1-1etch2 A high-level Python Web framework ii python-foomatic 0.7.7 Python interface to the Foomatic printer dat ii python-glade2 2.8.6-8 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gmenu 2.16.1-3 an implementation of the freedesktop menu sp ii python-gnome2 2.12.4-6 Python bindings for the GNOME desktop enviro ii python-gnome2-desktop 2.14.0-3 Python bindings for the GNOME desktop enviro ii python-gnome2-extras 2.14.3-1 Python bindings for the GNOME desktop enviro ii python-gnupginterface 0.3.2-9 Python interface to GnuPG (GPG) ii python-gtk2 2.8.6-8 Python bindings for the GTK+ widget set ii python-ipy 0.52-2 Python module for handling IPv4 and IPv6 add ii python-libxml2 2.6.27.dfsg-6 Python bindings for the GNOME XML library ii python-minimal 2.4.4-2 A minimal subset of the Python language (def ii python-newt 0.52.2-10 A NEWT module for Python ii python-numeric 24.2-7 Numerical (matrix-oriented) Mathematics for ii python-pyorbit 2.0.1-5 A Python language binding for the ORBit2 COR ii python-pysqlite2 2.3.2-2 python interface to SQLite 3 ii python-qt3 3.16-1.2 Qt3 bindings for Python ii python-selinux 1.32-3 Python bindings to SELinux shared libraries ii python-semanage 1.8-1 Python bindings for SELinux policy manipula ii python-sip4 4.4.5-4 Python/C++ bindings generator runtime librar ii python-support 0.5.6 automated rebuilding support for python modu ii python-uno 2.0.4.dfsg.2-7etch6 Python interface for OpenOffice.org ii python-vte 0.12.2-5 Python bindings for the VTE widget set ii python-xdg 0.15-1.1 A python library to access freedesktop.org s ii python2.4 2.4.4-3+etch2 An interactive high-level object-oriented la ii python2.4-minimal 2.4.4-3+etch2 A minimal subset of the Python language (ver ii ssl-cert 1.0.14 Simple debconf wrapper for openssl ii xresprobe 0.4.23debian1 X Resolution Probe " closed Documentation 1.0 duplicate jpg@… Unreviewed 0 0 0 0 0 0
