Django expat error

[Amal Francis]

I have a fresh installation of Django 1.7 on virtualenv. When i run the migration python manage.py migrate am getting 

    from xml.sax.expatreader import ExpatParser as _ExpatParser

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xml/sax/expatreader.py", line 24, in <module>

    raise SAXReaderNotAvailable("expat not supported", None)

xml.sax._exceptions.SAXReaderNotAvailable: expat not supported

I am using ubuntu 14.04. Any help, please?

Thanks in advance.
