str.upper() failed in _get_installed_models when syncdb

[timchen119@…]

Problem:

I'm using django svn-5640

#python manage.py syncdb
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: descriptor 'upper' requires a 'str' object but received a 'unicode'

Since some backend (eg:oracle xe) use case insensitive table names,
django will run str.upper() to make table names unique.
however str.upper() expect for a str type,
and now django trunk version give a unicode type back,
that would cause a problem.

Solution:
Change str.upper() in _get_installed_models at management.py to string.upper() would avoid this problem.
