 Firstly, thanks for a great tutorial! I'm really enjoying learning Django.

 Secondly, the code in the Testing Tutorial (#6):

 {{{
 create_question(question_text="Past question.", days=-30)
 }}}

 is redundant? This works as well:

 {{{
 create_question("Past question.", -30)
 }}}

 My error is this:

 {{{
 AssertionError: Lists differ: [] != ['<Question: Past question>']

 Second list contains 1 additional elements.
 First extra element 0:
 '<Question: Past question>'

 - []
 + ['<Question: Past question>']

 }}}

 For future question, I'm getting this:

 {{{
 AssertionError: Lists differ: ['<Question: Future question>'] != []

 First list contains 1 additional elements.
 First extra element 0:
 '<Question: Future question>'

 - ['<Question: Future question>']
 + []
 }}}


 This is the code for test_past_question:

 {{{
 def test_past_question(self):
         """
         Questions with a published_date in the past.
         """
         create_question('Past question', days=-30)

         resp = self.client.get(reverse('polls:index'))
         self.assertQuerysetEqual(
             resp.context['latest'],
             ['<Question: Past question>']
         )
 }}}


 and my create_question method:

 {{{
 def create_question(text, days):
     """
     Create a Question with text and days from now. -ve in the past, +ve in
 the future.
     """
     time = timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=days)
     q =  Question.objects.create(question_text=text, published_date=time)
     # pr = "create_question(" + text + ", " + str(days) + ")"
     # print(pr, q)
     return q

 }}}

 I've been knocking my head over this for the last few days.
 Any help much appreciated.
