Ich bin ein Neuling im Bereich Django und Webentwicklung. Wenn ich beim Erstellen eines Superusers aus der "Definitiven Anleitung für Django" lerne, erhalte ich die folgende Fehlermeldung (OS mac10.8.2 & django1.4.3)

Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): yes

Von der endgültigen Anleitung zu Django zeige ich eines der Modelle.

from django.db import models
class Publisher(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    address = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    city = models.CharField(max_length=60)
    state_province = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    country = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    website = models.URLField()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

    class Meta:
        ordering = ['name']

Die Einstellungen für die setting.py-Datenbank sind:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'books',
        'USER': 'postgres',
        'PASSWORD': '******',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '5432',
    }
}

syncdb läuft:

Creating tables ...
Creating table auth_permission
Creating table auth_group_permissions
Creating table auth_group
Creating table auth_user_user_permissions
Creating table auth_user_groups
Creating table auth_user
Creating table django_content_type
Creating table django_session
Creating table django_site
Creating table books_publisher
Creating table books_author
Creating table books_book_authors
Creating table books_book

nach ja zum erstellen des superusers bekomme ich den fehler.
