I have been using South on my project for a while, but I recently did a huge amount of development and changed development machine and I think something messed up in the process. The project works fine, but I can't apply migrations. Whenever I try to apply a migration I get the following traceback:
danpalmer:pest Dan$ python manage.py migrate frontend
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am not that experienced with South and I haven't met this error before. The only helpful mention I can find online about this error is for pre-0.7 I think and I am on South 0.7. I ran 'easy_install -U South' just to make sure.
Thanks for any help that you can provide. I really appreciate it.
