"Too many values to unpack" Exception

I'm working on a project in Django and I've just started trying to extend the User model in order to make user profiles. Unfortunately, I've run into a problem: Every time I try to get the user's profile inside of a template (user.get_template.lastIP, for example), I get the following error: Environment: Request Method: GET Request URL: http://localhost:8000/ Django Version: 1.1 Python Version: 2.6.1 Template error: In template /path/to/base.tpl, error at line 19 Caught an exception while rendering: too many values to unpack 19 : Hello, {{user.username}} ({{ user.get_profile.rep}}). How's it goin? Logout Exception Type: TemplateSyntaxError at / Exception Value: Caught an exception while rendering: too many values to unpack Any ideas as to what's going on or what I'm doing wrong?
That exception means that you are trying to unpack a tuple, but the tuple has too many values with respect to the number of target variables. For example: this works, and prints 1, then 2, then 3 def returnATupleWithThreeValues(): return (1,2,3) a,b,c = returnATupleWithThreeValues() print a print b print c But this raises your error def returnATupleWithThreeValues(): return (1,2,3) a,b = returnATupleWithThreeValues() print a print b raises Traceback (most recent call last): File "c.py", line 3, in ? a,b = returnATupleWithThreeValues() ValueError: too many values to unpack Now, the reason why this happens in your case, I don't know, but maybe this answer will point you in the right direction.
