ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10 with django.setup()

Question

My initial problem was models not loaded yet and somehow I got info from stackoverflow that django.setup() solves the issue. But then again when I use django.setup() I get this error:

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10

Here is my traceback

This has nothing to do with django.setup() . The error is happening in crawl_web : you are trying to save an item with an integer field, but giving it the value "5617c8f4b705960e4c314406" which is not an integer.
