I've defined a number of models, one of which I've called
MemberProfile that looks like this
class MemberProfile(models.Model):
postal_addr1=models.CharField(max_length=50, verbose_name="postal
address line 1")
postal_addr2=models.CharField(max_length=50, verbose_name="postal
address line 2")
postal_addr3=models.CharField(max_length=50, verbose_name="postal
address line 3")
postalcode=models.CharField(max_length=4, verbose_name="postal
code")
res_addr1=models.CharField(max_length=50,
verbose_name="residential address line 1")
res_addr2=models.CharField(max_length=50,
verbose_name="residential address line 2")
res_addr3=models.CharField(max_length=50,
verbose_name="residential address line 3")
rescode=models.CharField(max_length=4, verbose_name="residential
postal code")
homeno=models.CharField(max_length=12, verbose_name="home number")
workno=models.CharField(max_length=12, verbose_name="work number")
cellno=models.CharField(max_length=12, unique=True,
verbose_name="cellphone number")
idno=models.CharField(max_length=13, unique=True, verbose_name="id
or passport number")
occu=models.CharField(max_length=15, verbose_name="occupation")
employer=models.CharField(max_length=30)
amount_paid=models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True,
help_text="total fees paid to date", verbose_name="total reciepts")
reciept_no=models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True,
help_text="latest reciept number", verbose_name="reciept number")
dob=models.DateField(verbose_name="date of birth")
start_date=models.DateField()
expire_date=models.DateField()
captured_by=models.CharField(max_length=50, help_text="name of
data capturer")
photo=models.ImageField(upload_to="memberphotos", null=True,
blank=True)
permission=models.CharField(max_length=1,
choices=PERMISSION_CHOICES, help_text="Administration level, if the
user is a superuser this field has no effect")
user=models.ForeignKey(User,unique=True,related_name="member",
editable=False)
branch=models.ForeignKey(Branch,related_name="member", null=True)
def create_member(self,username,email,password):
m=MemberProfile()
m.user=User.objects.create_user(username=username,email=email,password=password)
return m
def __unicode__(self):
return self.user.username
def save(self,*args,**kwargs):
if not self.start_date:
self.start_date=models.DateField(datetime.date.today())
year=timedelta(days=365)
self.expire_date=models.DateField(datetime.date.today()
+year)
super(MemberProfile, self).save(self,*args,**kwargs)
I then wrote a method called populate just to test the database out
and it is pretty friendly until I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
File "/host/Shared info/MyDBA/MyMembers/populate.py", line 114, in
populate
m1.save()

models.py", line 115, in save
super(MemberProfile, self).save(self,*args,**kwargs)

or f.pre_save(self, True))) for f in meta.local_fields if not
isinstance(f, AutoField)]

__init__.py", line 192, in get_db_prep_save
return self.get_db_prep_value(value)
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/db/models/fields/
__init__.py", line 511, in get_db_prep_value
return connection.ops.value_to_db_date(self.to_python(value))
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/db/models/fields/
__init__.py", line 472, in to_python
if not ansi_date_re.search(value):
TypeError: expected string or buffer
m1 is an instance of MemberProfile...
The error goes away if I comment out everything to do with
DateField...
Am I doing something retarded? As far as I can see I'm populating the
fields the right way...
Any help would be greatly appreciated
