Description

Working through the tutorial (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial1/) I get a syntax error when I run the following line: python manage.py sql polls. I named the project "tutorial" instead of "mysite" but other than that everything is the same. I copied and pasted the model code.

I'm using the development version downloaded from svn. I'm on OS X and my database is MySQL. The error message, in full:

towy:~/sites/django/tutorial marc$ python manage.py sql polls

Resolution: invalid
Status: newclosed

You have a syntax error in your models.py file. I suspect you want this:

votes = models.IntegerField()

Thanks for the quick response. Apologies for my error.
