I am doing the tango with django tutorial. I am up to chapter 5 on working with models and I am setting up the admin website. I get this strange error:
ImportError: cannot import name get_permission_codename
This seems to go away when I remove the
admin.autodiscover()
from my project/urls.py. But I am concerned that I will need this down the road.
Here is the Traceback I get when I run the development server:

When I remove the admin.autodiscover() line, the development server runs and I am able to get to the admin panel, but when I log in with the superuser password I created earlier, I get the message "You don't have permission to edit anything." and I don't see any of the categories I created.
