Django Python Manage.py Migrate

I have installed on Win7 portable Python 2.7.5.1 and Django 1.6. I followed the first polls tutorial instructions and got an error in the migrate stage, python manage.py migrate: C

Solution 1:

If you've installed 1.6, you should use the 1.6 tutorial, not the one for the development version.

Solution 2:

First Step, Install South:

pip install south

Second Step, Add South to INSTALLED APPS in settings

INSTALLED_APPS = ( ..., 'south' )

Solution 3:

Migrate will be a native command in 1.7 (which is the version you read the tutorial pages from).

For older versions, you'll have to install the third party app"South".

Solution 4:

All-

This is likely caused largely by following the 1.7 (DEV version!) tutorial when we all get the last stable version (1.6!) installed by pip.

It would not appear migrate is even a part of 1.7 in general! Will:

python manage.py syncdb

Solve your problems?

So pls either follow the tutorial for the last stable version of django: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial01/

Or follow the instructions to install the dev version of Django.

Dear Django team, You guys are awesome. The JS developer is very impressed. But PLEASE resolve the discrepancy above. Maybe default to 1.6 docs and put in red letters: Dev version here?

Thank you.

Solution 5:

You must install South to add migrate command.

pip install south
