Python Django NameError: name 'model' is not defined

I have a model in one of my apps which is throwing an error when I run "python.py makemigrations signup." I have spent the last two days pouring through documentation (and Google) trying to figure out why this error is happening. Unfortunately I have come up with nothing.

What I am trying to do is include an app in my project. The app sits in the root directory of my python directory (not in a subfolder of of my project). Here is my code:

from django.db import models

class CompanyInfo(models.Model):
        companyID = model.AutoField(primary_key=True)
        companyName = model.CharField(max_length=100)
        companyURL = model.URLField(max_length=100)
        companyEmail = model.EmailField(max_length=254)
        companyFEIN = model.CharField(max_length=50)
        companyUsername= model.CharField(max_length=100)
        companyPassword = model.CharField(max_length=100)

class CompanyContact(models.Model):
        ccID = model.AutoField(primary_key=True)
        ccFirstName = model.CharField(max_length=100)
        ccLastName = model.CharField(max_length=100)
        ccEmail = model.EmailField(max_length=254)
        ccPhone = model.IntegerField(max_length=20)

The exact error that is printed to the console reads:

root@ubuntu1204:/home/humanoid# python manage.py makemigrations humanoid
Traceback (most recent call last):

It looks like you have dropped the 's' on models. You need to change your use of model to models.

For example:

companyID = model.AutoField(primary_key=True)

Needs to be:

companyID = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)

It looks like from the import it should be models (plural) and not model.
