ImportError: cannot import name execute_manager

[TimoRiikonen]

Root cause:
This project is very old and not maintained any more. In other words scrap it and look for something else.

If you still want to use this, you need to use an earlier Django version than 1.4:
execute_manager deprecated in Django 1.4 as part of the project layout refactor and was removed in 1.6 per the deprecation timeline: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/internals/deprecation/#id3

To fix this error you should either install a compatible version of Django for the project or update the manage.py to new style which does not use execute_manager: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/releases/1.4/#updated-default-project-layout-and-manage-py Most likely if your manage.py is not compatible with 1.6 then neither is the rest of the project. You should find the appropriate Django version for the project.

Hi, TimoRiikonen, Is there any requirements for the version of python?

[TimoRiikonen]

Hi, sorry but I don't remember and I don't have this environment any more easily reachable, so I don't have any answer to you.
