GeoDjango has few problems on Django 1.11-dev version

[Satish]

Hi,

Am a starting a new Django project, I chose 1.11-dev version considering the fact it is gonna be LTS release & major feature depreciation's are proposed from prev LTS release. I need to implement Reverse Geo location from latlng's as a feature in the project.

I've attached the screenshot of the error when i tried  migrating the  project after adding postgis support on server. Even on clean & new django project, the command "python manage.py makemigrations" results the same error.

Is Django 1.11 not  ready yet for postgis backend  or am I missing something? 

Thanks in Advance!

I'm not aware of any bugs or regressions. Could you provide a sample project that we can use to reproduce that issue? Does you have the same issue with older versions of Django?

Hi Tim,

I have attached a new django project which gave me the error. or you can try below steps to reproduce the error:

1. Create a python3 virtualenv and activate it
2. pip install git+https://github.com/django/django.git
   
3. pip install psycopg2
4. django-admin startproject projectname
5. Change the db backend to postgis in settings file
6. python manage.py makemigrations

After this step, we have this error.

Thanks, I accepted the ticket you created. Next time, please don't reach out for help in multiple channels since it increases the chance that multiple people will duplicate effort investigating the issue.
