That won't work because the Bookmark class definition: class Bookmark(models.Model): references the models module which is not imported until further down, right before the Link model definition: from django.db import models class Link(models.Model): (The code you included in your first message is also entirely lacking a bunch of required indentation -- I presume it is really there in the file you are woking with? Indentation is significant in Python so leaving it out when posting can cause confusion. Leaving it out in the file you are working with will lead to errors.) The fix for the error message you are getting is to move the import for models to be above any reference to the models module. More broadly, this is basic Python knowledge. If you are brand new to Python as well as Django you might want to start by working through a plain Python tutorial. It's possible to learn both at the same time, but it really helps if you cover learning the very basics of Python first.
