                            )
            member.save()

models.py

class Member (models.Model):
    user =  models.OneToOneField(User)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

The error is when you’re saving the member, not the user. When creating the member, you are not assigning the user.
