Not the best idea if you ask me. You should try "wetting your feet" with
simpler stuff first, and reading OOP theory.
That being said, I *guess* you can start out and do a lot of stuff with Django
without giving much thought of object oriented stuff.
Anyway, I'll give you some pointers for your questions:

Name of the class the example is defining. Django creates a table in the
database wich includes the name "poll" prefixed by the app's name.

Your guess is close, but not quite correct. 'model' is the name of a module
(a .py file containing code), read about that here:
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html
The rest of your guess is correct :)
> question => the name of the class variable? [my guess: This is a
> column in the database?]
Your guess is somewhat correct, there will be a column in a database named
"question" as a result from that line of code.
A class variable is something Django uses to make this happen.

A Python module.

Yup, more on that here:

Good luck!
