Re: 'python manage.py migrate' command gives error even after installing south

Check the documentation for south and go through the tutorial at http://south.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial/part1.html -  you need to do an initial migration, and then an auto migration.  Also, the taceback you posted says there is a syntax error in the question model....

I was going through Django tutorials and found the command - 'python manage.py migrate' to give output as 'unknown command' . So i searched for it and found that its most probably due to 'south' not installed. i checked it on python shell by giving the command - 'import south' which resulted in 'unknown module'. So I installed south first by using easy_install and then by apt-get and then updated the system. I also went to settings.py and added south in the installed_apps section.

Now when I ran 'python manage.py migrate' command there was an error -
pasting it here -
