Hey,
I followed your video for populating data. However, this for loop command doesn't work for me. Also the script in populate_script.py doesn't work for me. No errors and also no output.

getting the error below. can you suggest how to debug


Requested setting LOGGING_CONFIG, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO
_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

from first_app.models import AccessRecord, Topic, Webpage
from faker import Faker

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'first_pro.settings')

django.setup()

# FAKE POP SCRIPT
fakegen = Faker()

topics = ['Search', 'Social', 'Marketplace', 'News', 'Games']


def add_topic():
t =
t.save()
return t


def populate(n=5):
for entry in range(n):
# get a topic
top = add_topic()

# create fake data for entry
fake_url = fakegen.url()
fake_date = fakegen.date()
fake_name = fakegen.company()

# create new webpage entry
webpg = Webpage.objects.get_or_create(topic=top, url=fake_url, name=fake_name)[0]

acc_rec = AccessRecord.objects.get_or_create(name=webpg, date=fake_date)[0]


if _name_ == '__main__':
print('populating script')
populate(20)
print('populating complete')
