Description
Problem
When the sqlite database python module is missing, I see a strange error message "cannot import name backend".
How to reproduce
Create a brand new project with "django-admin.py startproject test", "cd test" and set
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3' DATABASE_NAME = '/tmp/sqlite3.db' DATABASE_USER = '' DATABASE_PASSWORD = '' DATABASE_HOST = '' DATABASE_PORT = ''
Now run "python manage.py runserve" and access "http://127.0.0.1/admin/" and you will see this strange error message
$ python manage.py runserver Validating models... 0 errors found. Django version 0.95 (post-magic-removal), using settings 'blog2.settings' Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

As soon as I installed the Debian package "python2.3-pysqlite2" I got back a page which was more sane (moaning about a missing admin entry in urls.py).

I can't reproduce this...
