INSTALLED_APPS = (

Answer 1

I think you needed to run:

python manage.py syncdb

and potentially you need to setup some dependencies? Probably not necessary after syncdb.

South 1 style (Django < 1.7)

class Migration:

    depends_on = (
        ("accounts", "0001"),
    )

    def forwards(self):
        ....

South 2 style (Django >= 1.7)

from django.db import migrations, models

class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    dependencies = [("accounts", "0001")]
