Here is my code:

from django.http import Http404
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect, HttpResponse
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.template import RequestContext, loader
from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404, render
from polls.models import Choice, Question


def index(request):
    latest_question_list = Question.objects.all().order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
    context = {'latest_question_list': latest_question_list}
    return render(request, 'polls/index.html', context)

def detail(request, question_id):
    try:
        question = Question.objects.get(pk=question_id)
    except Question.DoesNotExist:
        raise Http404
    return render(render, 'polls/detail.html', {'question': question})

def results(request, question_id):
    question = get_object_or_404(Question, pk=question_id)
    return render(request, 'polls/results.html', {'question': question})

def vote(request, question_id):
    p = get_object_or_404(Question, pk=question_id)
    try:
       selected_choice = p.choice_set.get(pk=request.POST['choice'])
    except (KeyError, Choice.DoesNotExist):
          return render(request, 'polls/details.html', {
             'question': p,
             'error_message': "You didn't select a choice.",
         })
    else:
         selected_choice.votes += 1
         selected_choice.save()
         return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('polls:results', args=(p.id,)))

What is wrong?

Answer 1

It's small typo in your detail function, it should be:

return render(request, 'polls/detail.html', {'question': question})

You typed render instead of request, and render function has no attribute meta, provoking the given error.
