Django tutorial project

For Django 1.11 and Python 3.4, or later.

This is the product of my working through the Django tutorial. The 'old' branch has a version that I had gotten much further with, on an earlier version of Django. It doesn't work with the newer Django.

This from-scratch branch is a re-do, since a lot of things have changed.

To run it:

virtualenv -p python3 venv
. env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
./manage.py runserver

Then go to http://localhost:8000/ for the top-level page, or http://localhost:8000/polls/ for the "polls" app.

To start the server such that it allows connections from other machines:

./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Steps

virtualenv -p python3 venv
. venv/bin/activate

Created requirements.txt with the single line: Django.

pip install -r requirements.txt
django-admin startproject mysite .
python manage.py runserver

Loaded http://localhost:8000 in the browser, and got "It worked!".

Committed 84351a3.

Started a new app with ./manage.py startapp polls.

Edited mysite/urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import include,url
from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
]

Created polls/urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
]

Edited polls/views.py to this:

from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello, world. You're at the polls index.")

Brought up http://localhost:8000/polls/, and saw this view.
