Where is the sqlite database file created by Django?

I've got python installed and sqlite is included with it... but where is the sqlite db file path that was created w开发者_开发百科ith manage.py syncdb? I'm on a mac.

In the settings.py file, there is a variable called DATABASES. It is a dict, and one of its keys is default, which maps to another dict. This sub-dict has a key, NAME, which has the path of the SQLite database.

This is an example of a project of mine:

CURRENT_DIR= '/Users/brandizzi/Documents/software/netunong'
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': CURRENT_DIR+ '/database.db', # <- The path
        'USER': '',
        'PASSWORD': '',
        'HOST': '',
        'PORT': '',
    }
}

You can easily retrieve this value using the Django shell that is accessible running the command python manage.py shell. Just follow the steps below:

>>> import settings
>>> settings.DATABASES['default']['NAME']
'/Users/brandizzi/Documents/software/netunong/database.db'

If the returned value is some relative path, just use os.path.abspath to find the absolute one:

>>> import os.path
>>> os.path.abspath(settings.DATABASES['default']['NAME'])
'/Users/brandizzi/Documents/software/netunong/database.db'

if settings not available then this could embedded in your packageName/base Directory:

try:

import packageName
import os.path.abspath
 In [3]: os.path.abspath(packageName.DATABASES['default']['NAME'])`
