error while using makemigration in django

Question

I am working on a development server running python3.5 and Django 1.11 with virtualenv

when I use "python manage.py makemigrations" I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 8, in <module> from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line File "/opt/hafez_bot/env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 13, in <module> from django.core.management.base import ( File "/opt/hafez_bot/env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 17, in <module> from django.db.migrations.exceptions import MigrationSchemaMissing File "/opt/hafez_bot/env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/db/migrations/__init__.py", line 1, in <module> from .migration import Migration, swappable_dependency # NOQA ImportError: No module named 'django.db.migrations.migration'

please help me

I understood that it's about my "manage.py" file and it has nothing to do with migration. because the "python manage.py help" raises the same error

this is my "pip freeze" output:

certifi==2017.7.27.1
Django==1.11.6
djangorestframework==3.6.4
future==0.16.0
mysqlclient==1.3.12
python-telegram-bot==8.0
pytz==2017.2

@The_Cthulhu_Kid yes, i made a mistake. i'm using python 3.5.2 — Kamran Hosseini, Oct 10 '17 at 11:03
Try opening up the django shell and type `import django.db.migrations.migration` and see if you get the error. — The_Cthulhu_Kid, Oct 10 '17 at 11:09
@The_Cthulhu_Kid i get the same error: ImportError: No module named 'django.db.migrations.migration' — Kamran Hosseini, Oct 10 '17 at 11:11
Then it isn't your manage.py. Work your way backwards through the chain. `import django.db.migrations` etc. — The_Cthulhu_Kid, Oct 10 '17 at 11:12
@The_Cthulhu_Kid i can import "django.db" but for "django.db.migrations" i get the same error — Kamran Hosseini, Oct 10 '17 at 11:15

I removed Django and I reinstalled it. And the error fixed

I learned a hard lesson and a valuable lesson as well, any time you might face a challenge raised by django with a line at the bottom that has the following component ImportError: No module named 'django.db.migrations.migration' it would be good for you to note that django did not install well. So you will be forced to re-install django again so that all model migration files can be availed for migration.
