What is the best Django syncdb crash debugging technique ?

I've previously asked a question about a problem with manage.py syncdb returning an exception and the answer was that the app has a wrong import.

I'd like to know the technique used to find the place where there is a wrong import.

I tried ./manage.py syncdb --verbosity=2 but I didn't get any more information that way.

You look at the problem the other way around. syncdb doesnt have anythin to do with "import". You have misconfigured python or/and django install and this is a problem. If you want to debug what happen with sql queries then you should use

python manage.py sqlall __yourappname__
