django syncdb error when asked "Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): yes"

Platform I am using:

• PyCharm 2.5.2
• OSX Lion
• MacPorts Python 2.7.3
• Django 1.4
• sqlite3

Issue I am having

When I execute the command "syncdb" within PyCharm, I get the follow output and error when I answer "yes" to "Would you like to create one now?"

bash -cl "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 /Applications/PyCharm.app/helpers/pycharm/django_manage.py syncdb /Users/klanger/Work/python/django/developer_utilities"

Creating tables ...

Creating table auth_permission

Creating table auth_group_permissions

Creating table auth_group

Creating table auth_user_user_permissions

Creating table auth_user_groups

Creating table auth_user

Creating table django_content_type

Creating table django_session

Creating table django_site

Creating table django_admin_log

You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any superusers defined.

Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): yes

If I do the same thing using a "Terminal" from a noraml bash prompt, the full process works.  Does anyone know if this is a bug, environment issue, or known behavior?

I can work around this by simply executing the command from the Terminal, however, I would prefer remaining with the IDE.  

Any/All feedback is appreciated.
