I am walking through the Google Application Engine Python tutorial for
building a guestbook and have it a snag. I am following the instrcutions in
the using templates section of the process and I can't seem to overcome
this simple name issue: NameError: name 'guestbook_name' is not defined.
Here is the error message from Google Application Launcher:
File "/Users/spragued/Desktop/guestbook/guestbook.py", line 56, in MainPage
ancestor=guestbook_key(guestbook_name)).order(-Greeting.date)
NameError: name 'guestbook_name' is not defined
INFO 2014-03-24 00:05:36,343 module.py:621] default: "GET
/?guestbook_name=default_guestbook HTTP/1.1" 500 -
I have attached my guestbook.py file for review...any help would be
appreciated! Thanks!
