django - SyntaxError: Generator expression must be parenthezised / python manage.py migrate

Question

I'm really new in programming and I wanted to follow the Djangogirls tutorial, but I'm stucked now. In the tutorial, I am here:

To create a database for our blog, let's run the following in the console: python manage.py migrate (we need to be in the djangogirls directory that contains the manage.py file). If that goes well, you should see something like this: ...

There is no option to fail in the tutorial but I have an error message:

(myvenv) C:UsersJulcsidjangogirls> python manage.py migrate

SyntaxError: Generator expression must be parenthesized

What am I doing wrong? What should I do?

I have Python 3.7.0b1

Thanks a lot in advance for the help :)

Answer 1

You’re not doing anything wrong; this is a problem between Django and Python 3.7. Django has a fix, but that fix hasn’t made it into a new version yet.

You can install the stable version of Python, Python 3.6, in the meantime.
