from django.db import models

    tags = models.CharField(max_length=200) 

    objects = models.Manager()
    search  = SphinxQuerySet(index="test1")


import datetime



class Group(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=32)

class Document(models.Model):
    group       = models.ForeignKey(Group)
    date_added  = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)

    class File(models.Model):
  File "D:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\django\db\models\base.py", line 52, in __new__
    kwargs = {"app_label": model_module.__name__.split('.')[-2]}
IndexError: list index out of range

Answer 1

You need to set Meta.app_label to something usable.

Answer 2

That's odd, that part of the code is just supposed to determine your app name. See the section here starting line 45. What's your app name for this?

You may be able to avoid the error by setting app_label to the name of your app in the Meta section of your model.
