I'm starting the Django tutorials and have virtual environments and django 
installed. I'm working on a Mac 10.6.8, which has sqlite3 already installed.

I'm working inside a virtual environment. I changed the settings.py file to:
ENGINE -- 'django.db.backends.sqlite3'

I left the NAME -- in the settings.py file blank (i.e. '') because the 
tutorial said "If the file doesn't exist, it will automatically be created 
when you synchronize the database for the first time."

But when I run python manage.py syncdb, I get the following error: 
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Please fill out the database 
NAME in the settings module before using the database.

Why isn't my file automatically created? Or what do I need to do to solve 
this problem?

Thank you!
