model for uploading a file - not working??

[Krondaj]

in my model i'm using:

from django.db import models, datetime, MEDIA_ROOT

class RrsForm(models.Model):
#....

upload_doc = models.FileField(upload_to 'documents')

I get this error when I run (before running syncdb):

python manage.py sql rrs

I get:

File "/home/chrissmith/Dcode/rrws/rrs/models.py", line 36
upload_doc = models.FileField(upload_to 'documents')

^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

any idea's what's up?

[Krondaj]

trying to show where ^ goes: haviing problems:  i'm hoping this shows
it at the last quote mark:

> File "/home/chrissmith/Dcode/rrws/rrs/models.py", line 36
> upload_doc = models.FileField(upload_to 'documents')

>                                                                                                 ^.
>SyntaxError: invalid syntax




Idon't know why i'm getting this error, or what i'm doing wrong

As the error message says, it is invalid syntax, you forgot the equals
sign (upload_to='documents').

Please re-read carefully the error message and the line it points to.
The error message says "SyntaxError: invalid syntax", which means your
code isn't valid python code. The cursor points to where the syntax
error happens, that is the whitespace between 'upload_to' and
"documents".

The valid syntax would be:

upload_doc = models.FileField(upload_to='documents')

I strongly suggest you take some time to learn Python - at least do
the official tutorial - if you hope to get anything done in Django.
