It's my first time using Django & I'm unable to get the demo going. I would like to use sqlite (ultimately mysql). Python 2.7 installed ok. Then I installed (I think) Django 1.2.1. The "manage.py runserver" works, but the "syncdb" fails. How do I "install" sqlite or pysqlite2 (or even mysql)? I thought Python 2.5+ came with sqlite installed.
