Problem
I'm trying to get the variable website out of a class UserProfile that is linked to MyUser via an OneToOneField.
To do so i tried in the python manage.py shell
from models import *
myuser = MyUser.objects.get(email="dummy@domain.tld")
myuser_profile = UserProfile(user=myuser)
myuser_profile.website
But this returns me u'' instead of the website address that i can see on my admin site. Is this not the correct way to access the variable or need I to look some where else for the failure?
