ImportError: cannot import name 'execute_manager'

Hello cwanjau,

I run into this error: ImportError: cannot import name 'execute_manager' Which googling informed me has something to do with

_execute_manager deprecated in Django 1.4 as part of the project layout refactor and was removed in 1.6 per the deprecation timeline: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/internals/deprecation/#id3

To fix this error you should either install a compatible version of Django for the project or update the manage.py to new style which does not use executemanager: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/releases/1.4/#updated-default-project-layout-and-manage-py Most likely if your manage.py is not compatible with 1.6 then neither is the rest of the project. You should find the appropriate Django version for the project.

Best wishes

From README:

This webservice has been tested on a computer running Python 2.7.2 and Django 1.3.1

Since then, Django 1.3 (and execute_manager) have been deprecated.

What you can do is create a virtualenv:

virtualenv . source env/bin/activate

and install an older version of django with

pip install Django==1.3

@nobicycle I've written a new django-smssync webservice compatible with Python 3 and Django 1.9+. Please see https://github.com/rodrigopitanga/django-smssync

Also, check that you create the virtual environment using python2,

virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.7 venv
