I am getting an error trying to apply a first South migration. I have tried various suggestions (like removing .pyc files in the migrations folder, converting the app as well as trying to start it afresh, other fiddles). Can anyone here suggest what I might do? Thanks

Wow. I was getting the AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Migration' error for a completely different reason than the above answers.

I had a migration file which had a bad indent:

class Migration(SchemaMigration):
    def forwards(self, orm):
        # 

    def backwards(self, orm):
        # 
        models = {...}

As opposed to ...

class Migration(SchemaMigration):
    def forwards(self, orm):
        # 

    def backwards(self, orm):
        # 

    models = {...}

I don't know why I had that but when I fixed that the error was gone.
