Django-guardian: DoesNotExist: Berechtigungsabgleichsabfrage existiert nicht.

In meinem Projekt erhalte ich einen DoesNotExist-Fehler, wenn ich versuche, Berechtigungen nach einem POST festzulegen.

Meine Modelle.py

class Project(models.Model):
    # Leader of the project
    project_name = models.CharField(max_length=200, unique=True)

    # The url for the stash repository 
    #project_repo = models.

    # Date the project was created
    date_created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

    # Person in charge of the project
    project_lead = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='%(class)s_lead_set')

    # Group of members to use for permission checking
    members = models.ForeignKey(Group, null=True, default=None)

    class Meta: 
        permissions = (
            ('edit_project', 'Edit Project'),
        )

            # Add the members group to the project
            project.members = members
            project.save()

            assign_perm('edit', members, project)
            members.save()
