问题
I'm new to Python (2.7) and Django (1.5) and am working through the Django book whilst making a hobby site. I'm using Sqlite3 as dev db, but in production I intend to us MySQL. South looks like a great solution for database schema migration management, but it doesn't play well with Sqlite. I'm now tempted to install MySQL on my dev machine, but wonder if there's a way to avoid that. I'd appreciate knowing a simple, practical solution to this problem, if anyone knows of one.
Edit: I meant a programmatic solution (for those that feel this is off topic). I imagined there may be a way to use Django's settings.py and some custom code to accomplish this.

No, there's no way around this. To use South properly you require complete ALTER TABLE support which SQLite does not have.
This and other small differences will make developing on MySQL a better choice, especially if you plan to deploy to MySQL.
