Query s in django 1.7

[dk]

i am trying to query base on the id of the table and i get a big error,   when i do it using .all()  i can get the objects

>>> Restaurant.objects.all()
[<Restaurant: angry dog>, <Restaurant: cafe brazil>, <Restaurant: papa johns>, <Restaurant: lolos>]

this works for looping and getting the information such

for i in Restaurant.objects.all():

    print i.id

    print i.name

1
angry dog
2
cafe brazil
3
papa johns
4
lolos

and here when i want to get by  the id (or doing name="lolos")
>>> Restaurant.objects.get(id=3)

You need to call django.setup().

I can confirm, though, that using Model.objects.all() somehow sometimes seems to work without calling django.setup().

yes,that did the trick, odd that on .all does work fine,  i wish the error was more descriptive.
