Question

I am following a Django tutorial, and I have run into a problem with one of my views. When looking at the error output from django it tells me that there is a error on line 62:

yr = datetime.datetime(year, 1, 1)     months = 12

Here is the entire view:

def year(request):
    #http://site_name/year/
    post_error = ""
    year = int(year)
    yr = datetime.datetime(year, 1, 1)     months = 12
    by_month = []
    if Post.objects.filter(published__year=year).count():
    if year == datetime.datetime.now().year:
        months = datetime.datetime.now().month
    for month in range(1, months+1):
        by_month.append({datetime.datetime(year, month, 1):

    Post.objects.filter(published__month=month).filter(published__year=year)})
    elif year > datetime.datetime.now().year:
    post_error = "It is not yet %d, try an earlier year." % year
    else:
    post_error = "There are not posts for %d." % year
    return render_to_response('year.html', {'by_month':by_month, 'post_error':post_error,},)

Please tell me if you need anymore information that I have not provided. Thanks! -Chris

Answer 1

You have two statements on one line; that’s a syntax error. Put them on two separate lines:

yr = datetime.datetime(year, 1, 1)
months = 12

Technically, you could also join multiple statements with a ; semi-colon, but that is generally discouraged.
