Re: Django app, part 1, error with the database

Hi Nicolas,

It looks like you have a syntax error in your settings file. It's
possible you left of a comma after one of your dictionary values, or
didn't close a brace. I can't tell for sure without more context: could
you please provide the complete "DATABASES" section of your settings file?
