Python Django server not running

[ebc3142]

Hi,

I've succesfully created a new project in Python Django, but when I try to run the server using:

python manage.py runserver

I receive this error:

Validating models...

Unhandled exception in thread started by <bound method Command.inner_run of <django.contrib.staticfiles.management.commands.runserver.Command object at 0x10166b250>>

TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases
    __init__() keywords must be strings

In the mysite directory, init.pyc and settings.pyc seem to also be created.

Has anybody come accross this error before?

The error is very common.

Can you post your model?

You have this:

django.contrib.contenttypes.models import 

It should look something like this:

from django.db import models
from django.utils import file
from core.models import file
