Spaces in model field definition params cause sqlite errors

Description

With this class definition:

class MyModel(models.Model):

title = models.CharField(blank=True, null=True, max_length=60)

run syncdb against sqlite. The title column will end up in sqlite defined as a required field (it shouldn't be). Remove the sqlite file, and change the model slightly:

class MyModel(models.Model):

title = models.CharField(blank=True,null=True,max_length=60)

(remove the spaces between the field options). syncdb again and the column now correctly is non-required.

The presence of the space(s) between field options seems to be significant.

There is something else going on. If the spaces were significant, it would mean there was a huge showstopper bug in Python. The spaces are not seen by Django at all, they are parsed by Python itself. Basically every Python project would be broken.

Closing as invalid.

Hmm. I should have noted that I also tested this against mysql, and did not have a problem. It was only sqlite3 (on OS X Lion) that demonstrated the problem. I'll see if I can someone else to reproduce it on a different codebase and machine.
