title: Django 1.7 makemigrations freezing/hanging
body: <p>I'm finally upgrading from Django 1.6 to 1.7, and removing South in the process.  I followed the <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/migrations/#upgrading-from-south" rel="noreferrer">official Django instructions</a> and removed all my old numbered migrations.  Now I'm trying to run <code>python manage.py makemigrations</code> to get the new migrations to continue moving forward with 1.7's migrations module, but it completely hangs and the only output I get is the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>bash -cl "/Users/me/.virtualenvs/mysite-Dj17/bin/python /Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/pycharm/django_manage.py makemigrations /Users/me/Coding/mysite"
  /Users/me/.virtualenvs/mysite-Dj17/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/test/_doctest.py:59: RemovedInDjango18Warning: The django.test._doctest module is deprecated; use the doctest module from the Python standard library instead.
    RemovedInDjango18Warning)
  
  /Users/me/.virtualenvs/mysite-Dj17/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/test/simple.py:27: RemovedInDjango18Warning: The django.test.simple module and DjangoTestSuiteRunner are deprecated; use django.test.runner.DiscoverRunner instead.
    RemovedInDjango18Warning)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then even if I leave it for hours, nothing happens.</p>
  
  <p>What is happening here?  How can I debug a manage.py command?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
  
  <p>After running with <code>dtruss</code> per <strong>@WilfredHughes</strong>'s advice, I get the following output (output at the top has been clipped because was too long for StackOverflow):</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo dtruss python manage.py makemigrations

  <p><strong>Update:</strong>
  Per comments and answers below, I tried completely shutting down and restarting Postgres to ensure that there were no open connections, and <code>makemigrations</code> still hangs.  However, what I <strong>did</strong> notice is that if I kept Postgres completely shut down (confirmed by trying <code>$ psql</code> and getting no response), and then trying <code>makemigrations</code>, I had the same behavior.</p>
