        'NAME': '/home/nick/Documents/django1/sqlite3.db' # The following settings are not used with sqlite3:
        'USER': '',
        'PASSWORD': '',
        'HOST': '',    # Empty for localhost through domain sockets or '127.0.0.1' for localhost through TCP.
        'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default.

Answer 1

You are missing commas (after the ENGINE and NAME items) in your DATABASES dict:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': '/home/nick/Documents/django1/sqlite3.db', # The following settings are not used with sqlite3:
        'USER': '',
        'PASSWORD': '',
        'HOST': '',    # Empty for localhost through domain sockets or '127.0.0.1' for localhost through TCP.
        'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default.
    }
}
