AttributeError: 'auth.User' has been swapped for 'accounts.Accounts'? How?

Question

So I have a Accounts model that extends AbstractUser model.
I Also have StudentProfile and TeacherApplications that have a one to one relation with Accounts.
I ALSO have two forms for teacher and student to fill out.

Requirement: Enable students/teachers to register via their forms.

Issue: In the student/teacher form I am asking for fields that the User model needs such as email, username, first and last name etc.. However I am getting this:.

Error: 1

AttributeError at /register/ Manager isn't available; 'auth.User' has been swapped for 'accounts.Accounts'

Error 2

Student_profile.save()
                     ^ TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

ISSUE: I need to register the user with user fields otherwise User fields would be null and generate error as well.. But is the best approach? Or what am I doing wrong?

models

class Accounts(AbstractUser):
    email = models.EmailField('email address', unique=True)
    first_name = models.CharField('first name', max_length=30, blank=True)
    last_name = models.CharField('last name', max_length=30, blank=True)
    date_joined = models.DateTimeField('date joined', auto_now_add=True)

    # asdd
    bio = models.TextField(max_length=500, blank=True)
    location = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
    birth_date = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)

class StudentProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField('Accounts', related_name='student_profile')
    # additional fields for students
    AMEB_Ratings = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0)
    is_student = models.BooleanField('student status', default=False)



class TeacherApplications(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField('Accounts', related_name='teacher_profile')
    # additional fields for teachers
    instrument = models.TextField(max_length=500, blank=True)
    skill = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
    experience_in_years = models.PositiveIntegerField(blank=True)

I think you should change your model to something like this, I mean that Student and Teacher should inherit from account, so you dont need is_teacher and is_student anymore.

class StudentProfile(Accounts):
    AMEB_Ratings = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0)



class TeacherApplications(Accounts):
    instrument = models.TextField(max_length=500, blank=True)
    skill = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
    experience_in_years = models.PositiveIntegerField(blank=True)

For your second error, I have to say the problem is indention and you should replace your tabs with 4 spaces. Also I need your urls.py file to figure out it completely, I think problem might be there. this link might be useful Manager isn't available; User has been swapped for 'pet.Person'

AttributeError: 'auth.User' has been swapped for 'accounts.Accounts'? How?
