Comment (by adamnelson):
Anyway, at least a strong statement on the wiki telling people that,
unlike PHP/Perl (where most future Django people will be coming from, i.e.
the audience for this wiki page), that Sqlite3 really is the way to go for
desktop development.
Not one person I've introduced to Django knew that on their own. Each one
struggled to install MySQL and MySQLdb on their Mac (since that's about
what they would have done for PHP) before I told them it's a waste of time
and they should just use Sqlite3 which works by default.
That isn't clear from the docs and I'm confident that many people are
trying in vain to install MySQL and associated libraries for only minimal
benefit.
