Django comes with some awesome CLI tools. Manage.py is a beast of magic and lore. And it loves the fantastical kingdom of Heroku, where is romps with merry measure twixt the ether. But, when I've tried to go through a dumpdata of a previous site, syncdb on a migration to Heroku, and loaddata for moving the data, I've run into a snag on django_content_type_app_label_key more than once. Here are some resolutions.

Django's manage.py script comes with some great utilitarian commands. Two of my favorites are dumpdata and loaddata. I've used these commands recently to migrate a Django app's data to the same Django app now running on Heroku. Here's a little taste of the glory.
