I'm going to guess you have been following along with the http://www.djangobook.com/ site. It was great in the day but *do not use that* now-a-days as it covers 0.96. There have been significant changes, one of which is the maxlength to max_length on CharFields. Stick with the particular version you are using from docs.djangoproject.com. Even changes from 1.1 to 1.2 are significant enough that reading the wrong version's docs can give you headaches.
