Following your official guide: http://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/xblock-tutorial/en/latest/getting_started/create_first_xblock.html

But couldn't get past the:

(venv) $ python xblock-sdk/manage.py runserver

Here is my error:

To debug, I've tried installing all the edx-platform/requirements and all the xblock-sdk/requirements into this virtualenv. But to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

Same issue here, have you find some hints to debug it yet?

[ANDRIANASOLO Tiavina]

Hello, 

I am somehow able to use my sdk environment in current time

I followed the README.rst in https://github.com/edx/xblock-sdk

I create the xblock_development directory, with the virtual environment active, I wget the zip of the sdk (I encounter issues with the git clone so I prefered to wget it and unzip) and install it by following the instructions in the README

and after that I follow the instruction of the tutorial to create my first XBlock

I faced the same issue, following the tutorial line after line, the only difference I observed was that the following line:

python xblock-sdk/manage.py migrate
did not prompt me with anything - and actually led to an error, which can be fixed by creating a /var directory or executing it directly in the xblock-sdk folder.

What solved it to me, based on Tiavina's comment, was simply to type: 
make install (in the xblock-sdk directory)

And restarting the server

I also faced same problem. Solved by executing "make install". Thanks
