Django 1.7 tutorial: Use generic views

[Pitchblack]

I need to use Jython instead of Python, I found that jython2.7b2 works with DJango 1.7. So, I am stuck using the beta version. I am trying to follow the current Django tutorial and I have ran into a problem. I am not sure if I am using generic views properly. When I try to change the urls.py (polls) file. I see that pydev complains that views.IndexView, views.DetailView, and ResultsView don't exist. Am I doing something wrong? Or did they change the way generics work in version 1.7?

My System:

• Windows 7
• jython2.7b2
• Django-1.7c3
• postgresql-9.3.5-1-windows-x64
• postgresql-9.3-1102.jdbc41.jar

Here is the url for the tutorial, go to the section "Use generic views: Less code is better"
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial04/

I suggest typing:

- manage.py shell

- from polls import views

- dir(views)

What output do you get? i.e, nspect views like the regular python module that it is.

Did you finish out the 'Amend Views' section of the tutorial? 

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial04/#amend-views

Based on the dir() output below, you didn't. You won't be able to reference those view classes from your urls.py until you create them in views.py.

Personal note: I think the ordering in the tutorial sections is wrong. The views should be created first and then referenced by an updated urls.py. I may file a bug/patch on this.

James,

Yes, you are correct.  It would have made more sense if they placed the "Amend Views" section first.
