AtributeError when importing users from SE dump
 
   
  
 
 
I tryed the import multiple times and always get the error in the same point:
 
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 11, in <module>
  execute_manager(settings)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Django-1.4.2-py2.7.egg/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 459, in execute_manager

  u_type = se_u.user_type.name
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'

 
Is it an error in the import script or maybe the dump has an error somewhere?

This one is not that hard to plug, but I'd like to know more about the contents of se_u. It is strange that user_type is None. It's possible that this user account is unusual in some way.
 
Seems to be a data-related issue that was not seen before in other dumps that we have used.
 
There is something that can save you time: the importer script has two options that allow you to separately read the dump and process the data. Use --help option to find out more.
 
Also - you can save yourself some time by using sqlite3 database engine for your test imports, as the database file can be simply copied to save the data and avoid re-reading it.

I removed the last users to check if this was a problem of the data dump but it raises the same error again. I think it's in the last user, because the first times was on 99.91% and now that I removed some users it's on 99.64%

You can fix up the code in that vicinity. if se_u.user_type is None: ... do something special .... If I had the dump here, I could work with this, but would have to bill you for this work.
