This is not a Django problem. If you're using MySQL it's actually a ​MySQL quirk:

In MySQL, the “-- ” (double-dash) comment style requires the second dash
to be followed by at least one whitespace or control character (such as
a space, tab, newline, and so on). This syntax differs slightly from 
standard SQL comment syntax
