I set up a very simple project to try out Haystack using a Whoosh engine, mostly following the example in the documentation. I installed everything using pip and no version numbers, so I should have the latest release versions.
I'm getting this error and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now, I cannot find anything similar though I've scoured Google. Please help!
The project folder structure is very simple, with one app called cat.
project
|-cat
| |-migrations
| |-admin.py, apps.py, models.py, search_indexes.py
|-templates
| |-search
| |-indexes
| | |-cat
| | |-cat_text.txt
| |-search.html
|-manage.py, settings.py, urls.py
The error I'm getting is:
