How do Django in VIsual Studio use South migrate apps?

Question

I am new to Django and start using Visual Studio for help. I have included South package and listed it in my settings.py.

But I can only use Django shell instead of $python in the Visual Studio environment.

How do I migrate these apps/packages? Or how do I use "manage.py migrate" command in Django shell?

Answer 1

firstly, I recommend you Aptana or (if you can buy) the wonderful PyCharm, Visual Studio is just not for django.

to run manage.py migrate, just cd to your project folder where manage.py is in, and type:

python manage.py migrate 

if you have installed south just now, then you need to do sync first, i guess.

python manage syncdb

hope this helps.
