It sounds like django isn't on your path.  If you are running in a virtualenv, was django pip installed while running in that same environment?

no django was not installed so I did a quick "pip install django" and installed django 1.8.2 into my ins tance of virualenv and was [finally] able to connect to the django server. I assume trhat I can easily do the "python manage.py syncdb" to connect to the sqllite3 server?

[Bill Freeman]

Yes.  syncdb should work, assuming that sqlite is available (I think that it's built in in all the python 3.x versions), and assuming that you have a correctly configured settings.py (startproject makes one, but you will still have things to enter, such as data base configuration info (like the file to use to back sqlite), or to edit, such as your timezone.

No, Django does that for you. You only have to worry about DB settings if you want something else like MySQL or Postgres.

As long as you're happy with the default file name.

"As long as you're happy with the default file name." What exactly are you referring to Bill? The database settings? Say how dpo you synch either mysql or the postgres database server into django anyway? I really haven't figured out yet how to do that I am afraid.

SQLite persists your data in a file on the filesystem.  You get to choose the name in settings.py.

Using other databases requires additional configuration, including getting them installed, installing a python adapter that django supports, creating a database user with suitable permissions, and more.  There's lots of fine documentation on line at docs.djangoproject.com and elsewhere, and I'm not going to attempt to duplicate it here.  Also, since I never run django (or most things) anywhere but linux, I would probably run afoul of Windows nits pretty quickly.
