Django will write out the value as an instatiation of your class with the

given arguments, similar to the way it writes out references to Django fields.

Upgrading from South
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you already have pre-existing migrations created with
|
||||
`South 0.x <http://south.aeracode.org>`_, then the upgrade process to use
|
||||
``django.db.migrations`` is quite simple:
|
||||
|
||||
* Ensure all installs are fully up-to-date with their migrations
|
||||
* Delete all your (numbered) migration files, but not the directory or __init__.py - make sure you remove the ``.pyc`` files too.
|
||||
* Run ``python manage.py makemigrations``. Django should see the empty migration directories and make new initial migrations in the new format.
|
||||
* Run ``python manage.py migrate``. Django will see that the tables for the initial migrations already exist and mark them as applied without running them.
|
||||
|
||||
That's it! The only complication is if you have a circular dependency loop
|
||||
of foreign keys; in this case, ``makemigrations`` might make more than one
|
||||
initial migration, and you'll need to mark them all as applied using::
|
||||
|
||||
python manage.py migrate --fake yourappnamehere
