I have added an option group, which does in fact appear when I try to
edit the option groups again. But these changes aren't reflected
anywhere else, for instance when I try to add a custom product or a
configurable product. Any ideas what might be causing that? I am
working on a very customized site, but then I decided to try on my
(nearly) virgin example store installation as well, and the same thing
is happening.

Ok, I have verified this is also the case in a completely fresh
install, per the instructions on the main project page.

additionally another abnormality is happening which i assumed i was
responsible for, and it is occuring out of the box as well.
on the administration interface, under product configuration, click
product options breaks with this error message:

AttributeError at /admin/product/optiongroup/
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'manager'

Surely this stuff isn't actually broken for everyone else.

I'm taking a look at this, but can you specify where to click?  "Under product configuration, click product options."  Got an example url?

I am not seeing this error.  I just added a new test group, and then edited a configurable product.  I could see the new testing option group, and then I could make productvariations with that option group.

reinstalled django and satchmo (again), option group changes propogate
now. so I added my new option group and a few option items, i can
see those things as choices when i try for configurable products,
product variations etc. thats good.

bad news is i still cant make any nonstandard products in the test
store,. trying to add a configurable product directly with the add-
button on the admin interface gives this error: 'ConfigurableProduct'
instance needs to have a primary key value before a many-to-many
relationship can be used.

if i first select a specific product, then scroll to the bottom of
it's configuration page, and try to add a configurable product a
variation or whatever, the same thing happens.

one strange aspect of the situation is, if i take an existing
configurable product (ie robots attack) and an option group like
"colors", or even my new testing-option group, everything works as
expected. there is no significant difference between robot-attack and
my test-product. it seems like only new products added from the
administrative interface are subject to this problem.

please help!

Do you see this error with Django revision 8032?
