HyperlinkedRelatedField failing

Can't understand why the validator doesn't accept the following code:

class ScoreSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): player = serializers.HyperlinkedRelatedField(many=True, read_only=True, view_name='apiv2:player-detail') game = serializers.HyperlinkedRelatedField(many=True, read_only=True, view_name='apiv2:game-detail') class Meta: fields = ('id', 'score', 'player', 'game') model = models.Score

scorekeeper/serializers.py
from rest_framework import serializers

from . import models


class GameSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        fields = ('id', 'name')
        model = models.Game


class PlayerSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        fields = ('id', 'name')
        model = models.Player


class ScoreSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    player = serializers.HyperlinkedRelatedField(many=True, read_only=True, view_name='apiv2:player-detail')
    game = serializers.HyperlinkedRelatedField(many=True, read_only=True, view_name='apiv2:game-detail')
    class Meta:
        fields = ('id',  'score', 'player', 'game')
        model = models.Score

Hint: The problems mentions that you shouldn't expect multiple records... so just revisit your 'many' parameter

@SteveShaw: thnx, it works - I guess, I should be much more attentive with all-these-programming stuff, eh?
