no Polls in admin page [django Tutorial 2]

Question

As I was following the django tutorial part 2, I got stuck because there is no Polls entry in the admin page.

I have checked out the solution to this problem. They say that the poll app must be included in the INSTALLED_APPS. It is included.
I have also restarted the server.
I verified that I have done everything mentioned in the tutorial - everything worked up to now.
The admin.py file from the polls directory seems to be ignored.

I have absolutely no idea what's wrong.

I run python 2.7.3 with django 1.4.2 on ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

[SOLVED] This is something very strange. As I was viewing my admin.py file with gedit, I have noticed that the key words, like from and import were not grey coloured, as they were in other .py files. So I have copied and pasted the models.py file in the same folder, renamed it admin.py, deleted the old one and replaced the code with the original one. Now the key words were colored. And, yes, it worked perfectly! So it must have been the way I created that admin.py file in ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

It is a little bit embarrassing, but it took me a while to solve this, since it wasn't a programming problem, as I expected, but an OS one.

there's no error. Only if I access http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/polls/, I get the 404. — DrKaoliN, Nov 01 '12 at 18:25
Interesting. I will look at this later tonight since I don't have Django handy. — Woot4Moo, Nov 01 '12 at 18:26
So, you think that the python version is the problem? I should try with python 3, then. — DrKaoliN, Nov 01 '12 at 18:26
As I recall when I picked Django up a year or so ago after 4 years away, the tutorial had me use Python 3. Of course this may just be my mistaken memory. — Woot4Moo, Nov 01 '12 at 18:27
You are mistaken. The upcoming Django 1.5 is sort-of compatible with Python 3. Django 1.4 is not at all. — Daniel Roseman, Nov 01 '12 at 18:29
The only thing they say about the python version is "It requires Python version 2.5 or higher, but it has no dependencies on other Python libraries." https://www.djangoproject.com/download/ — DrKaoliN, Nov 01 '12 at 18:30
My admin page looks just as if there were no admin.py file in the polls folder. — DrKaoliN, Nov 01 '12 at 18:38
`from polls.models import Poll` `from django.contrib import admin` `admin.site.register(Poll)` — DrKaoliN, Nov 01 '12 at 18:46
I have the same problem with [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4546073/django-ignoring-admin-py), except his solution isn't working for me, since I have already done that. — DrKaoliN, Nov 01 '12 at 18:54
