There is no South database module 'south.db.postgresql_psycopg2' for your database

Question

i new to django and I'm getting this error from south but i don't know what i'm missing. I search for answers but i can't found anything.

There is no South database module 'south.db.postgresql_psycopg2' for your database. Please either choose a supported database, check for SOUTH_DATABASE_ADAPTER[S] settings, or remove South from INSTALLED_APPS.

This is my base_settings:

from unipath import Path

BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).ancestor(3)


SECRET_KEY = 'pp@iz7%bc7%+*11%usf7o@_e&)r2o&^3%zjse)n=6b&w^hem96'

DJANGO_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

)

THIRD_PARTY_APPS = (
    'south',

)

LOCAL_APPS = (


)


INSTALLED_APPS = DJANGO_APPS + THIRD_PARTY_APPS + LOCAL_APPS


MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',

)

ROOT_URLCONF = 'misite.urls'

WSGI_APPLICATION = 'misite.wsgi.application'

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-us'

TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'

USE_I18N = True

USE_L10N = True

USE_TZ = True

local_settings:

from .base import *

TEMPLATE_DEBUG = True



ALLOWED_HOSTS = []

DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '[email protected]'

    # POSTGRESQL

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'misite',
        'USER:': 'fernandoperez',
        'PASSWORD': 'admin',
        'HOST':'localhost',
        'PORT':'5432',
    }
}

SOUTH_DATABASE_ADAPTERS = {
     'default': "south.db.postgresql_psycopg2"
 }

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

Can someone help me?? Thanks a lot.

Try pip uninstall South, then you will see if your application is 1.8 ready.
