19390	NameError in models throws ambiguous message when running syncdb	Dan Loewenherz	nobody	"When I start a Django 1.5 repo and forget to import a required library, I get a very ambiguous error when running ./manage.py syncdb

My models.py
{{{
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser

class Example(db.Model):
    pass
}}}

{{{
$ ./manage.py syncdb
NameError: name 'db' is not defined
}}}

The file path where this error occurs should probably be noted to users. I can imagine it getting tough to track down when in a large project with lots of apps."	Bug	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	1.5-beta-1	Normal	fixed			Design decision needed	0	0	0	0	0	0
