super(type, obj): obj must be an instance or subtype of type

Question

I work on a small Django app and get an error tells me, super(type, obj): obj must be an instance or subtype of type. I get it from the view

Answer 1

Another way this error can occur is when you reload the module with the class in a Jupiter notebook.

Easy solution is to restart the kernel.
