I'm confused.  Why does your 'AccountDM' try to obtain itself?

As to the answer to your question, I'm guessing the problem may lie in the 
fact that this is an AttributeError, and there are circumstances in which 
Python will mask an AttributeError because it doesn't realize the 
AttributeError is really nested in some other code.  But I think to fully 
answer your question, I'd need to see the code.
