Comment:
This was fixed in trunk when multi-db was merged in. In order to support
multiple databases, the spatial backends became full-fledged Django
database backends. An example configuration:
{{{
DATABASES = {
'default' : {
'ENGINE' : 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.spatialite',
'NAME' : 'geodjango.db',
}
}
}}}
Thus, your request for a `spatialite` backend was fulfilled. If still
using the old `DATABASE_*` settings, then `DATABASE_ENGINE='sqlite3'` may
still be used but `'django.contrib.gis'` must also be in your
`INSTALLED_APPS` to enable backwards-compatibility.
Also trunk now has better error-handling in absence of
`enable_load_extension`. Specifically, the `spatialite` backend, upon
initialization, now explicitly checks for support and raises a clear error
on what went wrong:
{{{
#!python
# Enabling extension loading on the SQLite connection.
try:
self.connection.enable_load_extension(True)
except AttributeError:
raise ImproperlyConfigured('The pysqlite library does not support C
extension loading. '
'Both SQLite and pysqlite must be
configured to allow '
'the loading of extensions to use
SpatiaLite.'
)
}}}
