I like south a lot and it's cute and all but I again got everything messed up somehow. I've looked at all the questions and answers on this and I have only progressed so far as from "table already exists" to "no such table" errors.
Is there a way to reset everything and start over with clean db and south to save some nerve and hair? :)
Drop the database and run:
python manage.py syncdb --migrate
South has its own tables that are added during syncdb.
