No module named django.core.management

Posted July 26, 2014

From $ python manage.py syncdb gives Error message: File “manage.py”, line 8, in <module> from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line ImportError: No module named django.core.management

How do I update Django packages in virtualenv?
Shouldn’t django.core.management be part of Django core?

I had the same problem but when I run python manage.py runserver localhost:port

I have changed the above to:

sudo python manage.py runserver localhost:port

It works :) :)

$ python manage.py syncdb

Needs to be $ sudo python manage.py syncdb
