I'm currently using django Version: 1.0-final-SVN-9020 and python
Version: 2.4.4, a few weeks ago (maybe a bit longer) I had to change
all my maxlengths to max_length, as I believe that was a change in
Django.

Anyway now when i try and use manage.py validate I get:

__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'max_length'

however if i call parts of the model from the templates they work
fine.

So my question is what is going on? and what should i be using?

Regards,

Andrew

max_length is definitely the correct version. If you are getting
errors, you either have an old version of Django in your PYTHONPATH,
or the error that is being thrown by something other than a field
validation.

Thanks, its a shared server so I will have to enquire as to what is
happening concerning the python path.

You need to append the proper path using (1. The export command 2. The .bash_profile file. ) I used number two, If you want to see the path just type into the shell export | grep PYTHONPATH
