I was trying to implement the poll app tutorial of Django using djangoappengine.
Steps I took:
1)Copied the test-app in workspace folder.
2)Copied django-toolbox, dbindexer, django, djangoappengine, autoload, as directed on website http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/djangoappengine, in ‘test-app’ folder.
3) Started a new project in eclipse as PyDev Google App Engine Project and made test-app as the working folder.
4) Now I deployed the app on GAE using terminal
$ python manage.py deploy
Got the “It Works” page on x.appspot.com.
5) Now I tried to make a polls app as directed in the tutorial
python manage.py startapp polls
folder ‘polls’ was created with four files
6) I edited the polls’ model.py file and added the code as mentioned in tutorial-1
Then I ran the command-
$ python manage.py syncdb
It showed no error but did not create a new table of polls.
I had added ‘polls’ under ‘Installed_Apps’ in settings.py
I think the problem is in Database declartion where it is dbindexer instead of django.db.backends.sqlite3, but i am not sure.
Also there is error when i run this in shell
>>> from django.utils import timezone
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name timezone
I have some more queries but I will mention it after the above has been solved.
The Django tutorial is written for the latest version of django. As far as I recall, timezone was added to django.utils around 1.3? Can you check what version of Django you have? The current version is 1.41.
