@adamchainz @KenWhitesell  
Thank you **both** for your help.  
I deactivated my virtualenv and got past this error.  
Now, I’m into the actual polls app - and can see both /polls and /admin, but getting a 404 when I try to access [http://127.0.0.1:8000](http://127.0.0.1:8000)😂

Please note: I’m not asking for help on my new issue in this thread. I’ll open a new topic if I can’t figure this one out.

Again, thank you from a Django beginner!
