"not all arguments converted during string formatting" Python Django

Question

I am programming in Django 1.5 with Python 2.7 on Windows Vista. I am trying to create user profiles. However, when I visit localhost:8000/admin/home/userprofile, I got the 1146, "Table 'demo.home_userprofile' doesn't exist error. Now I have in models.py :

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
# Create your models here.

class userProfile(models.Model):

    def url(self, filename):
        ruta = "MultimediaData/Users/$s/%s"%(self.user.username, filename)
        return ruta

    user = models.OneToOneField(User)
    photo = models.ImageField(upload_to = url)
    telefono = models.CharField(max_length = 30)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.user.username

And Django page is pointing not all arguments converted during string formatting error at me. This is a page that allows user to upload picture and phone number. What seems to be the problem?

I am getting this same error in Django 1.6, in one place but not another, in the same views.py file. I have stared at the % making sure it's not a $ in both places about a dozen times. Going nuts. :) I'll add here if I figure it out. — IcarusNM

Change:

ruta = "MultimediaData/Users/$s/%s"%(self.user.username, filename)

To:

ruta = "MultimediaData/Users/%s/%s"%(self.user.username, filename)
#                            ^ Notice the sign change

You seem to have used a $ instead of a %, which was the problem.

No it was just the '$' sign. Little mistakes like that.

To make it compaitble with Python 2 or 3...

ruta = "MultimediaData/Users/{0}/{1}".format(self.user.username, filename)

Why the downvote? If you're going to downvote someone, at least give them the courtesy of why. There's absolutely nothing wrong with either my answer or @Volatility's answer.
