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.
