The same URL format is used, omitting +the hostname, and using the "file" portion as the filename of the database. +This has the effect of four slashes being present for an absolute file path: +``sqlite:////full/path/to/your/database/file.sqlite``. Installation ------------ Installation is simple too:: - $ pip install dj-database-url \ No newline at end of file + $ pip install dj-database-url
