I am trying to create database table with Django by python manage.py syncdb and get an error Error was: No module named mysql.base.
I know there are many questions like this on the web but none one of them helped me.
Python version: 2.7.3 (default, Aug 1 2012, 05:16:07) \n[GCC 4.6.3].
Django version: (1, 5, 0, 'final', 0).
MySQL-Python version: MySQL_python-1.2.4b4-py2.7-linux-i686.
System information: Linux Marlon 3.5.0-26-generic #42~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 11 22:19:42 UTC 2013 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
MySQL version: mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.29, for debian-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 6.2
My setting.py file:
...
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
'NAME': 'a', # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
# The following settings are not used with sqlite3:
'USER': 'a',
'PASSWORD': 'a',
'HOST': 'a', # Empty for localhost through domain sockets or '127.0.0.1' for localhost through TCP.
'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default.
}
}
...

Try using 'django.db.backends.XXX', where XXX is one of:
u'oracle', u'postgresql_psycopg2', u'sqlite3'
Error was: No module named mysql.base`
And import MySQLdb works fine in the interactive shell.
What am I doing wrong?
