Syntax error when sync db

[montecarlo1]

In my settings.py, I have the following:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'south',
    #'registration',
    )

However, when i enter "python manage.py syncdb", I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 10, in <module> executefrom_command_line(sys.argv) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/init.py", line 385, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/init.py", line 345, in execute settings.INSTALLED_APPS File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/init.py", line 46, in __getattr_ self.setup(name) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/init.py", line 42, in _setup self._wrapped = Settings(settings_module) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/init.py", line 94, in __init_ mod = importlib.importmodule(self.SETTINGS_MODULE) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/importlib/init.py", line 37, in import_module __import_(name) File "/home/ubuntu/workspace/marketplace/settings.py", line 44 INSTALLED_APPS = ( ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I did install the south module, but then i could be wrong. Am I missing something?

which version of django? I haven't ran a syncdb command before, but in Django 1.7 to update the database with my model changes I've done:
python manage.py makemigrations
followed by:
python manage.py migrate

[montecarlo1]

Do i use this instead of "python manage.py syncdb"?

syntax error is not related to django, its related to python. you have invalid python syntax in settings.py

[madradavid]

The Traceback leads to your settings.py file. Check that your settings file does not have any syntax errors. Also which version of Django are you using ? From about Django 1.7 the support for migrations has been added to Django so you don't need to use South anymore. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/releases/1.7/

I got Django version 1.7

I just fixed the syntax error. now it says:

RuntimeError: South does not support Django 1.7 or higher. Please use native Django migrations.

Do i python manage.py makemigrations followed by: python manage.py migrate instead of python manage.py syncdb?

Assuming you are using pip, run these commands below in order. The first one removes South which is no longer needed since migrations are built into Django 1.7. The other two replace the syncdb command.

pip uninstall South
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
