Description

My settings.py is using the django.db.backends.sqlite3 backend, and the user running manage.py has umask value 0002. However, when running manage.py syncdb for the first time, the sqlite database file is created with access rights 0644, ignoring the user's umask value.

A quick search brings up this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users@sqlite.org/msg59080.html

Apparently it's a bug in SQLite.

The same bug was reported against PHP and rejected for the same reason: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31573

It also exists in Python itself:
