Error: ImportError: No module named south

[alekto.a...@gmail.com]

Hi, 

am using django==1.5.1 and south==0.8.2, as well as pip-1.1-py2.7.egg (python 2.7)

I keep getting this error: ImportError: No module named south, when I run: sudo python manage.py syncdb.

I have added south as the last line to my INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

Does anyone here have a suggestion how to solve this? 

Thanks in advance!

My python path shows among other paths, /home/alekto/.virtualenv/django_project/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/.

When I look into this dir, I find both south and South-0.8.2-py2.7.egg-info.

[Avraham Serour]

did you active the virtualenv?

Yes, I have already activated the virtualenv project:

(django_project)alekto@kalahari:~/Web/prosjekt/django_project$ sudo python manage.py syncdb

ImportError: No module named south

So this is what I am getting if I run the python manage.py syncdb, without sudo:

(django_project)alekto@kalahari:~/Web/prosjekt/django_project$ python manage.py syncdb

what does pip freeze shows?

[Avraham Serour]

from this it looks like the error is that you don't have the postgres driver, nothing to do with south

install psycopg2

btw, if you created the virtualenv you should need to sudo

[alekto.a...@gmail.com]

so, should I try to install psycopg2 to this project with pip install psycopg2?

This is what I am gettin when trying to install psycopg2, still the same errors...

the page here recommends installing the binaries, try sudo apt-get install python-psycopg2

Thank you, but that is already done. I did it when I first installed django.. so I am really confused

try deleting no-global-site-packages.txt from the virtualenenv

[alekto.a...@gmail.com]

I manage to solve this problem using this guid: http://www.springmerchant.com/blog/psycopg2-virtualenv-install-pg_config-executable-not-found/

(django_project)alekto@kalahari:~/Web/prosjekt/django_project$ python manage.py validate

Thank you for you time. Have a nice day :)

[Tito Gonzales]

before installing psycopg2 you have to install Postgres, you did it right? To test the south use the sqlite3 first then switch to Postgres
