After solve an error trying to migrate, now I'm facing another issue with the south package.
Running manage.py syncdb or manage.py schemamigration MyApp --initial I get this:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__file__'
This post mentions that the issue is solved with the new version (0.8.4) but not for me 'cause I have the latest one.
I'm running over a virtual enviroment with python3.3 - Any clue?

The issue was that I was using python3.3 for the whole project but the initial python manage.py syncdb command was entered using pyhon2.7, which will give me several issues later.
I noticed this after generate the project from the scratch and look an error in the output of manage.py syncdb.
Then I deleted all the info from postgre-sql and, after source bin/activate, run python3 manage.py syncdb.
