Re: "python manage.py syncdb" creates no tables (tutorial)

Well, here I am, confessing my stupidity to the internet. Like I said,
I'm new to both Python and Django. I've been trying to run the
commands in the same terminal window where I ran the 'python manage.py
runserver'. When I run it in a separate window, it all works as
expected. The tables are created.

Sorry for taking up your time.
Until next time,
