You've provided code, but not the code that is actually raising the error
(i.e., htuser.py). However, the error message does tell you exactly what
you're doing wrong -- you're attempting to access a manager, when what you
have is an instance.
Your code will be doing something like this:
> myUser = User.objects.get(username='foo')
> myUser.objects.all()
myUser is an *instance* of User. The ".objects" attribute, representing the
manager, exists for internal reasons, but you can't use it - you're trying
to access a manager on an instance.
> User.objects.all()
*would* be legal -- in this case, you're accessing the manager on the
*class*, not the instance.
Looking at your stack trace, the problem is either on line 539 or line 99
of htuser.py, where you've switched between working with an instance and
working with a model. You'll have to work out for yourself what the fix is.
