Django python manage.py syncdb

Question

I get following error after I try to sync with the database:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>

    Field.__init__(self, verbose_name, name, **kwargs)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'auto_not'

I'm new to Django, so I really have no idea what to think of it.

It is a typo, instead of auto_not, you probably meant auto_now.

Replace

timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, auto_not=False)

with:

timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, auto_now=False)

Actually False is the default for both auto_now_add and auto_now, so better is just to remove auto_now entirely.

@CarlMeyer good point, thank you. Though one could say "explicit is better than implicit"..
