Django: Why do some model fields clash with each other?

Question

I want to create an object that contains 2 links to Users. For example:

class GameClaim(models.Model):
    target = models.ForeignKey(User)
    claimer = mod

Just adding to Jordan's answer (thanks for the tip Jordan) it can also happen if you import the level above the apps and then import the apps e.g.

myproject/ apps/ foo_app/ bar_app/

So if you are importing apps, foo_app and bar_app then you could get this issue. I had apps, foo_app and bar_app all listed in settings.INSTALLED_APPS

And you want to avoid importing apps anyway, because then you have the same app installed in 2 different namespaces

apps.foo_app and foo_app
