Hey, Sorry I'm a bit confused so I'm going to try to make some sense of your situation "out loud" :)
1. User.objects.get(username="some_username") works some-times 2. When it doesn't work, then you get the DoesNotExist exception, right? 3. If not, what error(s) do you see? 4. Are you sure the user, with that username, does exist when you get the exception? 5. If you are sure they exist and you still get the exception, did you look into the database itself to see if it exists? Or how did you come to this conclusion?
