Hie friends, I made a form using the class forms.py it was running smoothly, but next time when I added two new fields in that forms.py class then on executing the command "python manage.py syncdb " it gives me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

pysqlite2.dbapi2.OperationalError: unable to open database file
A: 

it seems the problem is not with your forms.py but with your sqlite database file.can you delete the sqlite database file and syncdb again


~$  rm default.db
~$ manage.py syncdb

Making changes to forms does not affect you database schema, there is no need to run syncdb after changing a form. The error you are receiving has its roots elsewhere.
