title: using Django Sqlite in windows
body: <p>I want to use sqlite for development in django, with these settings:</p>
  
  <pre><code>'default': {
      'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
      'NAME': 'D:\database.db',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
      'USER': '',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
      'PASSWORD': '',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
      'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
      'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when i try to do syncdb i get the following:</p>
