I'm trying to use django-evolution to modify some models from an existing project. Now when I go a syncdb it says that I need to do a 'evolve'.
When I try to run:
python manage.py evolve --hint --execute
I am shown this error in the terminal, but I am still new to this so I am having trouble troubleshooting this error.
Error code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 11, in <module>
execute_manager(settings)
File "/home/steve/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 361, in execute_manager

changed_attrs[prop] = current_field_sig.get(prop, ATTRIBUTE_DEFAULTS[prop])

Thanks, and hopefully someone can help me out.

I have solved it, and I will post for anyone coming across the same issue.
I realized that I was at a very stable part of my project. So I made a backup of my db and went ahead and dropped the 2 tables that django_evolution works with.
Then I ran a syncdb to create the tables again.
This seemed to have worked and I was able to do my evolutions.
