The best way is to use South.
http://south.aeracode.org/
In your current situation, after you install South (pip install then add
to INSTALLED_APPS, and syncdb to add the South table) you'll just have
to do this:
1. manage.py convert_to_south appname #this will set up the basics,
you'll only do this once
2. change your model #it should not have changed since the initial
syncdb until this point
3. manage.py schemamigration appname name_your_migration --auto
#create a South migration file
4. manage.py migrate #apply the South migration file
In the future you'll only need to do steps 2 - 4.
You can also do a datamigration so that, for example, you can do a
schemamigration, move/change some data, then another schemamigration to
clean up orphaned fields or whatever.
There's also a south-users mailing list on Google Groups.
