Django AttributeError: 'Model' object has no attribute '_meta'

Question

I have two apps peaceout and food. peaceout has a model User and I have imported User in food model. and I am getting the following error when I am running python manage.py syncdb

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
  File "/Users/madhu/Documents/django/my_project/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 354, in execute_from_command_line

    user = models.Model(User)
  File "/Users/madhu/Documents/django/my_project/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/base.py", line 399, in __init__
    if args_len > len(self._meta.concrete_fields):
AttributeError: 'Model' object has no attribute '_meta'

My model class where I am using User model is

class Order(models.Model):
    itemDict = models.CharField(max_length=200,blank=True)
    user = models.Model(User)
    cost = models.IntegerField(default=0)
    slot = models.Model(OrderSlot)
    order_date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.user.name

Here is my Food Models.py and here is my Peaceout Models.py

You link modes with models.ForeignKey, not models.Model. — Burhan Khalid

The problem is in the way you define the relation to the User model:

class Order(models.Model):
    itemDict = models.CharField(max_length=200,blank=True)
    user = models.Model(User)  # <- HERE

If you want Order to have a link to a user who placed it, use ForeignKey field:

user = models.ForeignKey(User)

^{Check the "slot" model also. Same problem.}
