Hi all,

I have two separate Django questions. 

One: I am trying to learn how to use Django on my computer (Mac OS, 
Mavericks) and was first getting the error "unable to open database" when 
running "python manage.py syncdb." To fix it, I followed instructions from 
here: https://coderwall.com/p/gl_grw 
Now, I can't save settings.py. I realize this may have to do with the 
advice to change permissions on the page I just linked to; how can I change 
them back? 
When I run the "python manage.py syncdb" command now, it tells me there's a 
syntax error in settings.py. When I try to fix settings.py and save it, it 
tells me ERRNO 13 permission denied. 
I'm mainly trying to get a feel for Django because I may want to use it in 
the near future. 

Two: At my workplace, someone produced a Django app on Ubuntu. The app is a 
source database for reporters to view and add to (I work at a newspaper). 
The main question: can I get the source information out of this database so 
that we can recover it and use it, even if the original creator of this 
app/database is not available? He isn't responding to phone calls or 
emails, and bosses want me to see if I can extract the info. I've never 
worked in Ubuntu before. 

Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
