Was I supposed to be able to create a question on the website using 'runserver'?

[Carlos Henrique]

I'm following this Django tutorial. So far I haven't had an issue so far, but now I'm not really sure if I understood it correctly. We created a shortcut function to create questions, but I thought that it was meant to be user-side and when I use 'runserver', on the website there's no such option, only the previously created question. This is the code for the function:

def create_question(question_text, days): """ Create a question with the given `question_text` and published the given number of `days` offset to now (negative for questions published in the past, positive for questions that have yet to be published). """ time = timezone.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=days) return Question.objects.create(question_text=question_text, pub_date=time)

Did I get it wrong? This function is only admin-sided? It's on 'polls/test.py' and it's outside every class.

That's a helper function to get the Question instances you need for testing.  It's a way to query for those questions without repeating the same code over and over in tests.
