In the 1st line you are importing a model (?) named url.

In the 2nd you are discarding that url you just imported and rebinding the name url to a unicode string. You no longer have any reference to what you imported from shortener.models.

Any attempt to use the name url as though it were the thing you imported is now going to give odd results (like the TypeError you reported).

Don't name your variables the same as your models/classes. If you followed the CapWords convention for Python class names (and lowercase convention for variables) this would be less likely to happen.
