create django permissions, error: ContentType matching query does not exist

Question

I am trying to add two groups and give them permissions to my Django project. But I keep getting the error:

ContentType matching query does not exist.

I am running: Django 1.5.4 Python 2.7.3 South 0.8.2 PostreSQL 9.3

Here is my code:

import django
from django.contrib.auth.models import Group, Permission
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType 

from .models import Flavor

def add_groups():
    # Create User Groups
    special_users = Group(name='Special Users')
    special_users.save()
    really_special_users = Group(name='Super Special Users')
    really_special_users.save()

def add_permissions():
    # Define a View permission for the 1st group, and a View/Modify permission for the 2nd group
    somemodel_ct = ContentType.objects.get(app_label='flavors', model='flavors_flavor')
    can_view = Permission(name='Can View', codename='can_view_something', content_type=somemodel_ct)
    can_view.save()
    can_modify = Permission(name='Can Modify', codename='can_modify_something', content_type=somemodel_ct)
    can_modify.save()

def give_perm_to_groups():
    # Associate these two permissions now with a Group
    special_users.permissions.add(can_view)
    really_special_users.permissions = [can_view, can_modify]

I can run add_groups() fine. It is the add_permissions() that is now working. I believe this is related to fixtures in Postgres, but not sure how to add them or if that is the exact issue?

Thanks

Here is the whole error traceback:

Change this line:

somemodel_ct = ContentType.objects.get(app_label='flavors', model='flavors_flavor')

by:

somemodel_ct = ContentType.objects.get(app_label='flavors', model='flavor')

It's seem a problem when specify the model
