In this case, the problem is a little bit different. models.CharField.__init__ knows nothing about any 'baz' keyword argument. With your current code, however, you keep the 'baz' item in the kwargs dictionary and also pass this argument to CharField.__init__. That's the cause of this error. The remedy is simple, instead of kwargs.get use kwargs.pop. Michal
