Cannot assign "'Mary'":"Aluno.mother_name" must be a "Aluno" instance. When I try to access field in subclass "Aluno"

Question

I'm developing a system with multiple user, I'm doing inheritance of Django User. I got two users: "aluno" and "professor". And a base class User. Aluno and Professor inherit from User. models.py

account/models.py

class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionMixin):
    username = models.CharField('Usuário', max_length=30, unique=True,
        validators=[validators.RegexValidator(re.compile('^[\w.@+-]+$'),
            'O nome de usuário só pode conter letras, digitos ou os '
            'seguintes caracteres: @/./+/-/_', 'invalid')]
    )

    nome = models.CharField('Nome', max_length=100)
    email = models.EmailField('E-mail', unique=True) # blank=True?
    instituicao = models.CharField('Instituição', max_length=200)
    SEXO_CHOICE = ((0, 'Masculino'), (1, 'Feminino'))
    sexo = models.IntegerField('Sexo', choices=SEXO_CHOICE, default=0)
    imagem_perfil = models.ImageField('Imagem do perfil', upload_to='media/img/%Y/%m/%d', blank=True)
    is_active = models.BooleanField('Está ativo?', blank=True, default=True)
    is_staff = models.BooleanField('É administrador?', blank=True, default=False)
    date_joined = models.DateTimeField('Data de Entrada', auto_now_add=True)

    objects = UserManager()

    USERNAME_FIELD = 'username'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['email']

    def __str__(self):
        return self.nome

    def get_short_name(self):
        return str(self)

    def get_full_name(self):
        return self.nome

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'Usuário'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Usuários'

aluno/models.py

class Aluno(User):
    mother_name = models.CharField('Mother name ', max_length=100)

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'Aluno'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Alunos'

professor/models.py

class Professor(User):
    endereco = models.CharField('Endereço', max_lenght=100)

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'Professor'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Professores'

views.py

def dashboard_aluno(request):
    user = User.objects.all()
    aluno = Aluno.objects.all()
    professor = Professor.objects.all()
    print(user)
    print(aluno)# o erro acontece nessa linha
    print(professor)
    turma_aluno = Turma.objects.filter(alunos__id__contains=request.user.id)
    disciplina_aluno = Disciplina.objects.filter(turmas__id__contains=turma_aluno[0].id)
    template_name = 'dashboard_aluno.html'
    context = {'turma_aluno': turma_aluno, 'disciplina_aluno': disciplina_aluno}
    return render(request, template_name, context)

Login is working with both users, but when I try to access a subclass field I got this errors:

Exception Type: ValueError at /conta/dashboard_aluno/
Exception Value: Cannot assign "'Mary'": "Aluno.mother_name" must be a "Aluno" instance.

I'm new in Django, So any advice or tip will be appreciated. Django 1.7.7 and python 3.4

Ps.: This is the best way to do multiple users?

Answer 1

After one week of research I figure what I was doing wrong. I put the subclasses: Professor and Aluno in the same app, and work! Simple like that. I don't know why, but work.

account/models.py

class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionMixin):
    username = models.CharField('Usuário', max_length=30, unique=True,
        validators=[validators.RegexValidator(re.compile('^[\w.@+-]+$'),
            'O nome de usuário só pode conter letras, digitos ou os '
            'seguintes caracteres: @/./+/-/_', 'invalid')]
    )

    nome = models.CharField('Nome', max_length=100)
    email = models.EmailField('E-mail', unique=True) # blank=True?
    instituicao = models.CharField('Instituição', max_length=200)
    SEXO_CHOICE = ((0, 'Masculino'), (1, 'Feminino'))
    sexo = models.IntegerField('Sexo', choices=SEXO_CHOICE, default=0)
    imagem_perfil = models.ImageField('Imagem do perfil', upload_to='media/img/%Y/%m/%d', blank=True)
    is_active = models.BooleanField('Está ativo?', blank=True, default=True)
    is_staff = models.BooleanField('É administrador?', blank=True, default=False)
    date_joined = models.DateTimeField('Data de Entrada', auto_now_add=True)

    objects = UserManager()

    USERNAME_FIELD = 'username'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['email']

    def __str__(self):
        return self.nome

    def get_short_name(self):
        return str(self)

    def get_full_name(self):
        return self.nome

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'Usuário'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Usuários'

class Aluno(User):
    mother_name = models.CharField('Mother name ', max_length=100)

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'Aluno'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Alunos'

class Professor(User):
    endereco = models.CharField('Endereço', max_lenght=100)

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'Professor'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Professores'
