2944	With Python 2.5 dbshell launches wrong sqlite shell	paul@…	Adrian Holovaty	"manage.py dbshell launches the sqlite on the command line. But the chances of this being the same version as Python 2.5's embedded one are fairly slim. Unfortunately the file format is different between versions so the shell for one version is not necessarily compatible with the Python version. There should be some check of the form:

os.popen(""sqlite3 -version"").read().strip(""\n"") == sqlite3.version

In this case, perhaps Django should fall back to this pseudo-shell thing:
