Check your imports  There could be two classes with the same name  Either from your code or from a library you are using  Personally that was the issue

LivingRoom objects create   calls LivingRoom   init     - as you might have noticed if you had read the traceback - passing it the same arguments  To make a long story short  a Django models Model subclass s initializer is best left alone  or should accept  args and   kwargs matching the model s meta fields  The correct way to provide default values for fields is in the field constructor using the default keyword as explained in the FineManual

You can t do LivingRoom objects create user instance   because you have an   init   method that does NOT take user as argument  You need something like  signal function  if a user is created  add control livingroom to the user     def create control livingroom sender  instance  created    kwargs       if created          my room   LivingRoom           my room user   instance  Update But  as bruno has already said it  Django s models Model subclass s initializer is best left alone  or should accept  args and   kwargs matching the model s meta fields  So  following better principles  you should probably have something like class LivingRoom models Model          Living Room object        user   models OneToOneField User       def   init   self   args  temp 65    kwargs           self temp   temp         return super     init    args    kwargs   Note - If you weren t using temp as a keyword argument  e g  LivingRoom 65   then you ll have to start doing that  LivingRoom user instance  temp 66  or if you want the default  65   simply LivingRoom user instance  would do
