"Writing Your First Django App, Part 5" quotes

Using Django Getting Started
1

As you can see, when I run the tests.py I fail due to the queryset having quotes around each entry and the question does not. I am not sure if the view is causing it but I’m frustrated. Ive tried a lot of ways to add quotes to the question or remove quotes from the queryset but none worked.

Failure:

FAIL: test_future_question_and_past_question (polls.tests.QuestionIndexViewTests)
Even if both past and future questions exist, only past questions

It looks like you’re using Python 3.9. What version of Django are you running?
(Django 5.0+ is not compatible with Python 3.9, it needs to use Python 3.10+. See FAQ: Installation | Django documentation | Django)

If you are using Django 4.x, please post your create_question function. (Note: Please do not post any images of code or other textual information.)

The version I am using is Django 3.1.7. And yes, python 3.9. I see now that I was using the 5.1 tutorial.
