python - Using Django, South and Sqlite during development -

i'm new python (2.7) , django (1.5) , working through django book whilst making hobby site. i'm using sqlite3 dev db, in production intend mysql. south looks great solution database schema migration management, doesn't play sqlite. i'm tempted install mysql on dev machine, wonder if there's way avoid that. i'd appreciate knowing simple, practical solution problem, if knows of one.

edit: meant programmatic solution (for feel off topic). imagined there may way use django's settings.py , custom code accomplish this.

no, there's no way around this. use south require complete alter table support sqlite not have.

this , other small differences make developing on mysql better choice, if plan deploy mysql.
