----------------------------------------------+-----------------------
I have Django 1.8a1 and mysql-connector-python 2.0.3 installed.
I get this error, reproducable by setting ENGINE as below in the
settings.py.
And then running the command line python manage.py startapp polls
DATABASES = {
'default': {
#'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'ENGINE': 'mysql.connector.django',
The error happens at django.apps.config.py at around line 202:
self.models_module = import_module(models_module_name)
Partial stack trace (this error is reproducable anyhow.)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 'mysql.connector.django'
isn't an available database backend.
Try using 'django.db.backends.XXX', where XXX is one of:
u'base', u'mysql', u'oracle', u'postgresql_psycopg2', u'sqlite3'
Error was: cannot import name BaseDatabaseFeatures
My OS is Debian Wheezy.
