Question

Consider this function i am using Django along tornadoweb

def MeetingRecord(userid,mtngid,mesg):
    obj =  Usage()
    obj.name = userid
    obj.meeting_id = mtngid
    obj.action = mesg
  #  obj.participantid = participantid
    obj.save()    

here is the model

class Usage(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey('User',related_name = 'usage_user',null = True)
    meeting = models.ForeignKey('Meeting',related_name = 'meeting_usages',null = True)
    participant= models.ForeignKey('Participant',related_name = 'meeting_participant_id',null = True)
    date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now  = True)
    action = models.CharField(max_length = 500)
    miscellaneous = models.CharField(max_length = 500)

I am calling this method from a tornado class like

MeetingRecord(check_user_exist,mtng,mesg)

but i am getting following trackback

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return int(value)
TypeError: int() argument must be a string or a number, not 'Meeting'

I would like to confirm it that userid is the instance of User class and mtngid is the instance of meeting class .

Please help me out why i am getting this error .

Answer 1

Just an educated guess: “obj.meeting_id = mtngid” here you’re probably passing a Meeting instance rather than a Meeting id.
