python_2_unicode_compatible error

[Mario Hari]

I've "models.py" as follows,
#encoding: utf-8
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db import models
from django.utils.encoding import python_2_unicode_compatible
from django.utils.timezone import now


# Create your models here.
@python_2_unicode_compatible
class Tag(models.Model):
        name = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True)

        class Meta:
                verbose_name = 'tag'
                verbose_name_plural = 'tags'
                ordering = ['name']

        def __str__(self):
                return self.name
.............  and so on

when I ran "python manage.py syncdb" this is the error I got.

itman@itman:~/djangoApp/mysite$ python manage.py syncdb

don't know why the module is not imported. I'm using python 2.7 and django 1.4. Any help would be of immense help
