Well, if you worked through the tutorial you should know that you need to run syncdb after creating a new model. Your user profile is a model after all and it needs to reside in your database for get_profile to work. To be honest, it seemed to me your post was a thinly disguised jab at the docs. We all feel the way you do at first, that everything is hard to find. But if you keep reading the docs and studying other people's source code (check out all the django apps on code.google.com), you'll get the hang of this. I realize we all learn differently and at our own pace. I think that the django docs are some of the most well written and comprehensive docs I have seen for an open source web framework. Seriously. Have you ever looked at another frameworks docs? If you find the docs lacking on some point, write a Trac ticket. The developers are very responsive to documentation requests in my one single experience. They understand the value of good docs. I also encourage you to get on the IRC channel. You can get fast pointers from experts that way if you are stuck. And finally, don't forget the actual django source code. Learning how to navigate it and find things in it is very useful. If you are confused about the docs, take a peek at the code. You will also learn something about python that way.
