On syncdb getting TypeError: Item in ``from list'' not a string

Have been struggling for two days with this issue: after a pip install of askbot, and setup etc, when i run python manage.py syncdb, i get an error saying

WARNING!!! You are using a 'locmem' (local memory) caching backend,
which is OK for a low volume site running on a single-process server.
For a multi-process configuration it is neccessary to have a production
cache system, such as redis or memcached.

With local memory caching and multi-process setup you might intermittently
see outdated content on your site.

TypeError: Item in ``from list'' not a string

It is the typeError that does not go away - i googled for hours together and found that the issue could be a force_str so now my settings.py is full of force_str wherever i could find a string but of no use. The TypeError just does not go away.

PLS HELP !!

If you currently have django 1.5, please downgrade to 1.4 as the latest version is not yet supported.
