4591	cannot import name User (error retrieving User from django.contrib.auth)	icsmith12@…	Adrian Holovaty	"I was making an application that included user profiles, and I thought I was done with the first part so I entered an sql command and got this:
{{{
Ian-Smiths-Computer:~/Sites/matches ismith$ python manage.py sql nest
matches.cafe: cannot import name User
1 error found.
BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE `nest_userprofile` (
    `id` integer AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    `website` varchar(200) NOT NULL,
    `about` longtext NOT NULL,
    `avatar` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
    `user_id` integer NOT NULL UNIQUE REFERENCES `auth_user` (`id`)
);
COMMIT;

}}}

Here is what my nest/models.py looks like:

{{{
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

# Create your models here.

class UserProfile(models.Model): 
	website = models.URLField()
	about = models.TextField()
	avatar = models.ImageField(upload_to='avatars')
	user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)
}}}

I'm using it to extend the User model, but for some reason it cannot connect to it. I then tried to re-SQL another app in my project that hadn't had a problem, and it gave the same error.

I even included {{{ AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'nest.UserProfile' }}} in my project's settings.py

I was thinking maybe I should redownload django, to reset contrib/auth/models.py, just in case it got modified somehow."		closed	Contrib apps	dev		invalid			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
