I am trying to follow this tutorial on getting tinymce working with django and zinnia. It's not working, so I am attempting to do "Testing" but get this error when I run django-admin.py syncdb. How do I fix this?
$django-admin.py syncdb

Thank you.
I found out the django-tinymce documentation is outdated, i.e. partially wrong.
What I discovered is that different versions of tinymce and django-tinymce packages are not compatible.
I solved it adding some variables to my project/settings.py and altering the tinymce directory and file names.
django-tinymce urls.py had some hardcoded paths in it which assumed the directories were named "tiny_mce" when in reality they were named "tinymce", hence I had to rename them, or alternatively you can change the hardcoded paths in django-tinymce's urls.py.
# project setting.py
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static")
STATIC_JS_DIR = os.path.join(STATIC_DIR, "js")
TINYMCE_JS_ROOT = os.path.join(STATIC_JS_DIR, "tiny_mce")
TINYMCE_JS_URL = os.path.join(TINYMCE_JS_ROOT, "tiny_mce.js")
#TINYMCE_JS_ROOT = os.path.join(STATIC_JS_DIR, "tiny_mce")
#TINYMCE_JS_URL = os.path.join(TINYMCE_JS_ROOT, "tiny_mce.js")
