Why is my attempt to use Django user profiles erroring out?

I am trying to make a user profile object; my models.py presently reads:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.db import models

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField()
    scratchpad = models.TextField()
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique = True)

def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        UserProfile.objects.create(user = instance)

 post_save.connect(create_user_profile, sender = User)

In my settings.py I have at the top:

AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'models.UserProfile'

I am getting an error screen:

The models.py file is in /Users/jonathan/pim.

What am I doing wrong here? How can I set things so that the UserProfile in models.py registers as a user profile?

Thanks,

--EDIT--

Regarding the site and package names, I have the UserProfile defined in models.py in the root of the project, /Users/jonathan/pim. Does this need to be moved to an application within the project? At present I do not have applications sliced off.

--SECOND EDIT--

A tarball is at http://JonathansCorner.com/project/pim.tgz

From the looks of it, pim is missing from the INSTALLED_APPS setting

i think you need

AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'app.UserProfile'

(note app.Model, not models.UserProfile)

where app is the name of your app
