DB_start.models.DoesNotExist: Artist matching query does not exist.

I am following the correct syntax as documentation yet results in error. How can I successfully access the foreign key fields? Have tried print (e__name) as well.

Your problem comes from the placement of the key you have set up.

class Artist():blah = models.TextField()class Album()blah = models.ForeignKey(blah)

This is how the database will work
