I'm trying to do some unit testing with my code.  But I think I'm using the context variable wrong in my test function.

Can anybody help me?

test.py

    # Past polls

    def test_index_view_with_a_past_poll(self):

        """

        Polls with a pub_date in the past should be displayed on the index page.

        """

        create_poll(rosword="Past polly", days=-30)

        response = self.client.get(reverse('navi_polls:index'))

        self.assertQuerysetEqual(

            response.context['untranslated_words'],

            ['<Word: Past polly>']
