Just my 2 cents, but by his model definition: class Tweet(models.Model): author_id = models.IntegreField() text = models.TextField() I believe an Author is pre-condition for a Tweet. As such, wouldn't author_id already exist? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
