Re: `manage.py syncdb` fails, but what does the error mean?

I was too quick there, because just after sending the last email, I
found the problem. It seemed, that the copy of South, that Snowy
bundles in /lib/south, was the culprit. When I deleted it, and
installed south in my virtualenv instead, things started working.

Thank you for your help!
