[Django]-Django 1.7 Migrations

Had the same problem. I solved it with:

pip install django --upgrade

python manage.py makemigrations

python manage.py migrate

Why exactly it gets solved like that, I dont know, someone with deeper knowledge might be able to explain…

pip install "django<1.8" -U

then run migrations…. If you update without versioning you’ll end up with another active trunk and it’s not what you want.

I met the same problem. and I found my Django version is 1.7.0.
After running pip install django --upgrade, my Django version changed to 1.7.4, and the problem is gone.

I remember the other computer that sync the projects files with this one through Internet, has Django version 1.7.3. So I come to the conclusion that this problem is caused by inconsistent versions of Django.

still facing the same error, even after updating my django and doing or rather creating new migrations
