Installation problems with django-tagging

Question

I am having problems using django-tagging. I try to follow the documentation but it fails at the second step

Once you've installed Django Tagging and want to use it in your Django applications, do the following:

1. Put 'tagging' in your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
2. Run the command manage.py syncdb.

The syncdb command creates the necessary database tables and creates permission objects for all installed apps that need them.

I get a python Traceback with the following error:

ImportError: cannot import name parse_lookup

The following works, so I think it is correctly installed:

>> import tagging
>> tagging.VERSION
(0, 2.1000000000000001, None)

What am I missing?

Answer 1

parse_lookup has been removed. Not sure how this will affect tagging. Might want to do some searching.

Update: apparently it's been fixed in the trunk version of tagging. Download the latest SVN build of tagging.

Answer 2

I had the same bug me recently. I checked out the trunk release which seems to work fine.

In [1]: import tagging; tagging.VERSION
Out[1]: (0, 3, 'pre')
