yes I am running through the manage.py shell (although initially I did not).
I am doing the section: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial05/#the-django-test-client On the response.content line, I get back a line listing the polls made earlier. And I presume that is why the test from the next section fail, because they are picking up the entries from the database, rather than the test database. I am on windows 7, if that makes any difference.
