Can't get through a video without my program crashing, update this video with new versions of everything

Can't even make it through any steps without encountering jinja errors.

This series are deprecated. Either should be updated or removed completely. I have even downloaded and extracted the latest files in different directory, changed the lines which were pointed out during the course that are deprecated, and still I am getting this error TypeError: init() missing 1 required positional argument: 'model'.

I'm so disappointed by this tutorial. Spend so much time until this video, to get this error. Couldn't even finish the project completely.

Hi, b d

I got that same error and what I had to do was check out the Peewee documentation. By searching for rel_model, you'll be redirected to a section called Backwards incompatible. There you'll see that rel_model is now used simply as model because of the version.

And yeah, Treehouse has neglected its Python courses. But well... errors like this would also happen in real life.
