Writing my first Django app - sunny_awesome - Aug-21-2019

Hey Guys,

I am following along Django official documentation for learning Django. I am now in Part 2 (Writing your first Django app)

I have made some changes to polls/models.py like this

from django.db import models

class Question(models.Model):
    # ...
    def __str__(self):
        return self.question_text
    def was_published_recently(self):
        return self.pub_date >= timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)


class Choice(models.Model):
    # ...
    def __str__(self):
        return self.choice_text

But when I run this command:

[python]
python manage.py makemigrations
[\python]

I am getting an error in command line like this:

Error:Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 21, in <module>
    main()
  File "manage.py", line 17, in main

SyntaxError: 'return' outside function

Can somebody help me figure this error out?

Make sure you didn't mix TABS and SPACES.
Show your whole module.

Thanks for the reply, fishhook.

Here's my models.py file:

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.
class Question(models.Model):
    question_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')

    def __str__(self):
        return self.question_text

    def was_published_recently(self):
        return self.pub_date >= timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)

class Choice (models.Model):
    question = models.ForeignKey(Question, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    choice_text = models.CharField(max_length = 200)
    votes = models.IntegerField(default=0)

    class __str__(self):
        return self.choice_text

RE: Writing my first Django app - fishhook - Aug-22-2019

    class __str__(self):
        return self.choice_text

Class definition is not suitable here, you probably wanted to write def instead.

Thank you so much fishhook.
I got it.
