This is the problem; you want an AutoField, not an IntegerField. See
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model_api/ for a detailed
explanation of the difference between these two field types.

Django will only auto-increment fields listed as AutoField. If you use
any other type (CharField, IntegerField), it's assumed that you want
to specify the primary key yourself each time.
As others have mentioned, if you really want an auto-incrementing
field, the best solution is to just not define any primary key at all;
then Django will create an AutoField named "id" for you, and you won't
have to worry about getting its definition right.
