GeoDjango is much appreciated. I'm trying to do it primarily via Homebrew
and Pip... it'd be nice if it worked. The current instructions all lead to
various dead ends

The answer to that SO question is the same as the one the Geodjango docs
have mentioned for some time:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/contrib/gis/install/spatialite/#pysqlite2

Having tried the pyspatialite path myself recently, even with the latest
development code, and getting the segmentation faults Anssi mentioned in
comment:18 back in Jul '12 when trying to execute syncdb seems to indicate
that it hasn't yet reached a point where we can:
* Support pypatialite by replacing the module used by the ''main'' SQLite
Django DB backend.
* Recommend it as the easiest path to get GIS support with SQLite.
and that the documented process of using platform-packages plus possibly
building pysqlite2 with a modified configuration still is the safest
strategy to reach success.
Because of this, I think the 'someday/maybe' tag is appropiate at this
point.
