I’m having a issue with my manage.py file. When I try to run a command like “$ python manage.py runserver” or “$ python manage.py createsuperuser”, I’m getting this error:
File “manage.py”, line 14
) from exc
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Everything was running as expected before. I’m (hopefully) missing a step somewhere, but I can figure it out. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Are you within your virtual environment? You should see something at the start of your command line like (venv) :)
Looks like I’m not in the virtual environment, I must have shut it down. How do I restart it?
I figured it out and I’m back up and running. The terminal side of thing is where I’m least comfortable. I have a hard time aligning the commands and what’s going on behind the scenes.
Thanks, your comment nudged me in the right direction!
No problem — I promise things will become more natural the more you do it. :)
