 I'm running SQLite3 , and the following doesn't result in an error or any
 visible output:

 {{{
 In [5]: Spam.objects.distinct('field')
 Out[5]:
 In [6]: isinstance(Spam.objects.distinct('field'), models.QuerySet)
 Out[6]: True
 }}}

 The queryset is not evaluated for some reason.

 {{{
 In [7]: repr(Spam.objects.distinct('field'))
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 NotImplementedError                       Traceback (most recent call
 last)
 ...
 NotImplementedError: DISTINCT ON fields is not supported by this database
 backend
 }}}

 Maybe this bug is really "queryset not evaluated when it should be",
 rather than "doesn't raise an error when it should", since the following
 is evaluated as expected:

 {{{
 In [8]: Spam.objects.all()
 Out[8]: [<Spam: Salty>, <Spam: Delicious>, <Spam: Goo>]
 }}}
