12605	ImproperlyConfigured improperly imported in Spatialite base wrapper	tmcw	jbronn	"The Spatialite-specific code in spatialite/base.py necessitated the use of this exception, so imported it for the entire module, but the existing code had a local import, so in many cases, ImproperlyConfigured is treated as an undefined local variable, this producing the error message

{{{
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Cannot determine the SpatiaLite version for the ""mapdemo.db"" database (error was ""local variable 'ImproperlyConfigured' referenced before assignment"").  Was the SpatiaLite initialization SQL loaded on this database?
}}}

This patch removes the redundant import, allowing the correct exception to be reported. Also the code in operations.py might want to be tighter in catching all exceptions as problems identifying the Spatialite version."		closed	GIS	dev		fixed			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
