Django South - SyntaxError: invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)

[Ivan Goncalves]

Hi.... 

I'm having trouble with the South.

In the model below:

class Carrier (models.Model):

     name = models.CharField (max_length = 40, blank = False, null = False, verbose_name = 'Name')

     user = models.ForeignKey (User, blank = True, null = True)

    

     def save (self, force_insert = False, force_update = False):

         self.nome self.nome.upper = ()

         super (Carrier, self). save (force_insert, force_update)

        

     def __ unicode__ (self):

         return u '% s'% (self.nome)

the error occurs when i run the migrate after South on the app.

SyntaxError: invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)

But if my model does not have the user field, then the error message does not occur, as shown below:

class Carrier (models.Model):

     name = models.CharField (max_length = 40, blank = False, null = False, verbose_name = 'Name')

    

     def save (self, force_insert = False, force_update = False):

         self.nome self.nome.upper = ()

         super (Carrier, self). save (force_insert, force_update)

        

     def __ unicode__ (self):

         return u '% s'% (self.nome)

I need the field User. What I have to do ?

Thanks a lot.

Can you use the models.py file with the user field on a bare DB?

I mean: if you start from scratch with an empty DB everything works correctly? You can create Carriers from the Django shell?

Ivan,

Did this code paste correctly? There is a syntax error in the save method:

 def save (self, force_insert = False, force_update = False):

         self.nome self.nome.upper = () <--- SYNTAX ERROR

         super (Carrier, self). save (force_insert, force_update)

Is that supposed to be:

self.name = self.name.upper()

?
