How to use native Django migrations?

[Etienne Robillard]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build my own Satchmo site using Django 1.10. For this to work I need to get manage.py migrate working with the native Django migrations api.

However I get stuck attempting to run migrate, and thus I'm unable to create the required SQL
tables using sqlite3.

Traceback follows:

Question: How can I create the SQL tables without Django accessing the livesettings models ?

Many thanks,
