Django Import-Export: Admin interface "TypeError at /"

Question

I am trying to figure out how to use Django Import-Export, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-import-export by reading the docs https://django-import-export.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getting_started.html#admin-integration Admin Integration: The gap between the example code and its resulting photo that follows, seems to be vast for my elementary python knowledge. I have managed to code the following: geographical_system/models.py: ``` from django.db import models from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ class Regional_Units(models.Model): regional_unit = models.CharField( max_length=64, verbose_name=_(u'Regional Units')) def __unicode__(self): return u'%s' % (self.regional_unit) ``` geographical_system/resources.py: ``` from import_export import resources from geographical_system.models import Regional_Units from import_export.admin import ImportExportModelAdmin class Regional_Units_Resource(resources.ModelResource): class Meta(object): model = Regional_Units class Regi…

Accepted Answer

Although I'm not familiar with this particular app, what you should do is replace

```
admin.site.register(Regional_Units)
admin.site.register(Regional_Units_Resource_Admin)
```

with

```
admin.site.register(Regional_Units, Regional_Units_Resource_Admin)
```

and if everything else is ok it should work. The admin `register()` method expects the Model as first argument and (optionally) a ModelAdmin class (or subclass) as second argument.

Sidenote: since you're just starting with python/django try to comply with the conventions. This means do not use `_` between words in class Names (i.e. RegionalUnits is a suitable name) and try to place `ModelAdmin` declarations right inside the admin.py module (i.e. `RegionalUnitsResourceAdmin` should be declared in admin.py rather than being imported).
