I'm working on a small application Djangoand get an error message super(type, obj): obj must be an instance or subtype of type. I get it from the file views.pyafter introducing the function get_object_or_404. The file views.pybelow
from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect
from django.views import View
from .models import URL
def redirect_view(request, shortcode=None, *args, **kwargs):
obj = get_object_or_404(URL, shortcode=shortcode)
return HttpResponse("Hello World, the shortcode is {shortcode}".format(shortcode = obj.url))
class ShortenerView(View):
def get(self, request, shortcode=None, *args, **kwargs):
obj = get_object_or_404(URL, shortcode=shortcode)
return HttpResponse("Hello World 1, the shortcode is {shortcode}".format(shortcode = obj.url))
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
return HttpResponse()
the full error message is displayed here,

Can someone explain the cause of the error for me and how to solve it? I am open to providing additional information if required.
