django.db.utils.OperationalError: near ")": syntax error ERROR at $ python3 manage.py migrate

[Peter Sels]

Dear Django-ers,

I ran into a problem with Django.

--

Situation:

--

I am using version 1.10.3 of Django.

For the fifth time I updated my table related classes in models.py.

The 4 previous time this ran well all through

(1) The server ran and did not complain about syntax errors or anything else.

and

(2) $ python3 manage.py makemigrations

but in

(3) $ python3 manage.py migrate

I get the problem mentioned below when running 

The log of (2) and (3) is given below.

--

Questions:

--

Any tips on how to solve it?

How can I relate this to my own code in models.py?

Do I really need to revert back to my previously (checked in) version of models.py?

And then do small incremental steps again?

Or is there a better way?

(Unluckily I cannot share the models.py file.)

thanks and best regards,

Peter
