Django Authentication: Add user to Editors group

I get this error message whenever I check my work, I can not find out what might be wrong here. Any guidance is much appreciated

accounts/models.py 
from django.contrib.auth.models import (
    PermissionsMixin,
    BaseUserManager,
    AbstractBaseUser,
    Permission,
    Group
)
from django.db import models
from django.utils import timezone


class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
    def create_user(self, email, dob, accepted_tos=None, password=None):
        if not accepted_tos:
            raise ValueError("Users must accept the terms of service")

        user = self.model(
            email=self.normalize_email(email),
            dob=dob,
            accepted_tos=True
        )
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save()
        return user

    def create_superuser(self, email, dob, password):
        user = self.create_user(

        try:
