Comment (by mrkiwi-nz): Regarding not supporting 3.3.6, that's fair enough, but for anyone following even the most basic getting-started tutorials, the exception this throws is way beyond what a beginner should be expected to troubleshoot. Even knowing that it might be a back-end issue, or finding your version of sqlite3 is not obvious from the exception. My server (smeserver 8.2/centos 5.11) had been running django (various versions) for about 2 years fine until I upgraded to django 1.9.2 and nuked the db and tried to run migrations from scratch. I didn't even have sqlite3 installed, but So I had to install sqlite3 to even find the version number of sqlite3. How about wrapping line 25 in a try: block to ensure a value is returned from "PRAGMA foreign_keys", or testing the sqlite version like other backends do (AFAIK) so that a helpful error message can be thrown (rather than ...NoneType' object has no attribute...)? -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26205#comment:2> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
