If this is the wrong list to post a newbie question please let me know. I'm getting an error message while trying to populate the tables created by the models and not sure why. Here are the models
from django.db import models class County(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=80) slug = models.CharField(max_length=80) def __unicode__(self): return self.name def get_absolute_url(self): return "/countries/%s/" % self.slug class Company(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=50) address = models.CharField(max_length=80) client = models.CharField(max_length=50) city = models.CharField(max_length=50) county = models.ForeignKey(Country) dollar_amount = models.DecimalField('Cost (in dollars)', max_digits=10, decimal_places=2) def __unicode__(self): return self.name So I go into the shell and type this: >>c=County(name='blah blah, slug="blah-blah") then >> l = Company(name='xyz corp', address='56 b. street', client='G corp', city = >> 'Walla Walla', county='blah blah', dollar_amount =54000) The error message I get is Valueerror: Cannot assign "blah blah" : "Company.county" must be a "County" instance. doesn't this create the instance? >> c=County('blah blah', slug='blah-blah') Any suggestion or point out my error would be appreciated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
