Facing issue with South and Django "There is no South database module 'south.db.postgresql_psycopg2' for your database."

Question

I am try to develop one project in Python and Django using South for database migration.

I am very new to south and currently facing one problem when try to run any command syncdb or runserver that is :

"There is no South database module 'south.db.postgresql_psycopg2' for your database. Please either choose a supported database, check for SOUTH_DATABASE_ADAPTER[S] settings, or remove South from INSTALLED_APPS."

I am using following versions Django==1.4.2,

South==0.7.6,

psycopg2==2.4.5

Postgres 9.2.2

Python==2.7.1 for the configuration.

I am trying to configure this project on mac machine 10.7.5

Database Settings info:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'xxx',
        'USER': 'xxx',
        'PASSWORD': 'xxxx',
        'HOST': '',
        'PORT': '',
    }

}

SOUTH_DATABASE_ADAPTERS = {
    'default': 'south.db.postgresql_psycopg2',
}

Thanks in Advance

I don't think setting the database adapter for South is necessary. — dannyroa, Dec 26 '12 at 07:28
Even if i remove that "SOUTH_DATABASE_ADAPTERS" settings file still getting the same error. — Shreeyansh Jain, Dec 26 '12 at 15:42
