Django Manage.py Gives No South Commands

Question

When I do a "./manage.py help", it gives me NO south commands, although South has been installed.

I have the latest version of south installed for my django project, which is South==0.8.1.

I have added "south" to my INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py

I have done a manage.py syncdb, and there is a "south_migrationhistory" database table created.

However, when I do a "./manage.py help", it gives me NO south commands.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing south, but I still get no south commands when I do a ./manage.py help

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Answer 1

If you have installed South in your virtualenv then, once you are in the virtualenv, try to execute python manage.py help instead of ./manage.py help.

Answer 2

If you're using virtualenv, ensure that it is activated when running ./manage.py help command. Django will just pass all import errors when showing available commands.

Answer 3

You might want to check if the INSTALLED_APPS is not overwritten somewhere outside the settings.py file. E.g. if you are using a separate settings file for a local settings.
