Thanks for your replies.

I had runned `manage.py syncdb` and the db file exists.

I can open the db file in django's manage shell:
>>> f = open('./data/db.db')
>>> f
<open file './data/db.db', mode 'r' at 0x7faa0230>

the permission of the db file is :-rwxrwxrwx

the version of python on cygwin is
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Jun 12 2010, 17:07:01)
[GCC 4.3.4 20090804 (release) 1] on cygwin

also, I can use the APIs of models in manage shell, and sqlite3 can be
imported.
>>> from polls.models import Poll
>>> Poll.objects.filter(id=1)
[<Poll: what's up?>]
>>> import sqlite3
>>> exit()

but the error occurred when i run "python manage.py createsuperuser
--username=jack --email=j...@f.com".
although the error occurred, if i run the command again, it prompt: 'Error:
That username is already taken.'
