Another related question, on my development machine I am using sqlite3 and had "dev.db" as the name of my DB. This created it in the root directory. Now that settings.py is put in the project app directory it creates the dev.db there. It doesn't seem to work properly with a relative path "../dev.db", but does work with an absolute path. Should relative paths work?
