"python manage.py runserver" creates not tables (tutorial)

I've started the Django tutorial and I get as far as running python
manage.py runserver, but when I do, nothing happens. I get no messages
and the database connected to the project is still empty. The database
exists and I've made no modifications to any of the files created,
accept for the info to connect to the database. My settings.py has
this snippet in it:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
# 'django.contrib.admin',
# Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentation:
# 'django.contrib.admindocs',
)

If django is not able to find or connect to the database, I would
expect there to be at least an error message, right? Is there a
command I can run make sure? Any other ideas?
