How to add a new model and migrate using South 0.7.2?

Question

I created a new model:

class RssFeed(models.Model):  
  url = mdels.CharField(max_length=300)  

$ python manage.py forum by schemas - add-on RssFeed model

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "manage.py", line 13, in <module>
      execute_manager(settings)
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Django-1.2.3-py2.7.egg/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 438, in execute_manager

Answer 1

My syntax was correct, the way I created the model was not.

I put all my models in a directory / models

If you do this, you must add Meta to the model definition:

class Meta:  
   app_label = 'APP_NAME'

If you do not, Django will not be able to detect new models.
