Error Trying to save Image to django model

Question

I used beautiful soup to scrape and extract images from a website describe below successfully but when I viewed the extracted images they appear as Url as shown below. I then experience difficulty in attempting to save the scraped image to my django database as a particular error shown below keeps on appearing. After I got the error I also tried using a forloop to create the post because I thought am trying to save a list element in a single data but it still shown the same or I got the same error not commited but when I remove the image scrape data from the file in title, summary, content and try to save to django database.it was a success. Saving image is the problem and I need help

Below is my sample code

My scraped images appear as a list of url as shown below

https://people.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/ad1-746x375.jpg https://people.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/caroon-1-600x375.jpg

something like this brought the images

images = [i['data-src'] for i in soup.find_all('img', {'class','attachment-jnews-750x375 size-jnews-750x375 lazyload wp-post-image'})]

but am unable to save the images scraped above like this because it will bring an error

Post.objects.create(
                title=title,
                content_1=paragraphs,
                image=images,
                sources=lnk,
            )

this will bring an error when i try saving to models

class Post(models.Model):
               title = models.CharField(max_length=250, blank = True, help_text='Maximum 160 Title characters.')
               image = models.FileField(upload_to='images', blank=True, null=True,  help_text='You must upload original image before continuing.')

if file and not file._committed: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute '_committed'

and I try using for loop but the same error exist too

for image in images: 
             / Post.objects.create(title=title,
                content_1=paragraphs,
                image=images,
                sources=lnk,
)

and I got this error also

if file and not file._committed: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute '_committed'

@SergeyPugach please show me a way out - I need your help, yes am passing a list of images and that is why I used a forloop in my code — Solomon Ojonomi Echiye, May 14 '21 at 08:01
In the for loop, while creating a Post object, you are passing `images` to where you have to pass `image`, since images is the list you are traversing and image is the list object in current loop state. Also your code have indentation issue in the for loop — Akash, May 14 '21 at 09:04
Dea @Akash please can you show me a good example sir am still confused because the image is the list object and images is the list and I used the object to transverse the list- can you help me a little further — Solomon Ojonomi Echiye, May 14 '21 at 10:39
Dear @Akash I got a name error : name 'image' is not defined. When I pass for image in images — Solomon Ojonomi Echiye, May 14 '21 at 10:59

Please change your for loop code snippet with this

for image in images:
    Post.objects.create(
        title=title,
        content_1=paragraphs,
        image=image,
        sources=lnk,
    )

Where are the images not appearing? In the template? Can you check in the admin panel to confirm the images are being saved? – Akash May 16 '21 at 10:00
