**models.py**

    
    
    from django.db import models 
    # Create your models here. 
    
    class post(models.Model): 
        author = models.CharField(max_length=30) 
        title = models.CharField(max_length=100) 
        bodytext = models.TextField 
        timestamp = models.DateTimeField 
    


Answer: I think you did something like that:

wrong:

    
    
    class Foo(models.Model):
        bar = models.TextField
    

correct:

    
    
    class Foo(models.Model):
        bar = models.TextField()
    

Thus you try to validate with a class instead of a class instance.
