Question

I am designing a simple model in Django(1.3) which has 3 fields and some META options.

class DataSource(models.Model):
    title           = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    priority        = models.IntegerField(unique=True)
    read_only       = models.BooleanField(default = False)

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = "Data Source"
        verbose_name_plural = "Data Sources"
        app_label = 'My Admin'

Now, this model’s table isn’t being created in the database when I syncdb.

What could be the reason?

Should I remove it?

If I want to keep it, what is(are) the solution(s)?

Answer 1

Read the documentation:

app_label

If a model exists outside of the standard models.py (for instance, if the app’s models are in submodules of myapp.models), the model must define which app it is part of:

app_label = 'myapp'

The app_label must be an app name. You don’t have an app called "My Admin".
