Defining a model class in Django shell fails

Question

when I use the Django shell, it shows an error; this is the error:

>>> from django.db import models
>>> class Poll(models.Model):
...     q         


        

Answer 1

I ran into this problem using Eclipse, Django and PyDev. I needed to have the application (instead of some .py file for example) selected in the PyDev Package Explorer (left panel) before clicking Run for everything to work properly.
