Hello there, I am a newbie learning Python/Django...
Am using the following tutorial located at: http://bit.ly/eIdT Created a mysite database in MySQL 5 running on Snow Leopard. Edited the settings.py file to look like this: DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql' # 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'. DATABASE_NAME = 'mysite' # Or path to database file if using sqlite3. DATABASE_USER = 'root' # Not used with sqlite3. DATABASE_PASSWORD = '' # Not used with sqlite3. DATABASE_HOST = '' # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3. DATABASE_PORT = '' # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3. Now when I run the following command: python manage.py syncdb I receive the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 11, in <module> execute_manager(settings) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 362, in execute_manager utility.execute() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 303, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 195, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **options.__dict__) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 221, in execute self.validate() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 249, in validate num_errors = get_validation_errors(s, app) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/validation.py", line 22, in get_validation_errors from django.db import models, connection File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/db/__init__.py", line 41, in <module> backend = load_backend(settings.DATABASE_ENGINE) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/db/__init__.py", line 17, in load_backend return import_module('.base', 'django.db.backends.%s' % backend_name) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/utils/importlib.py", line 35, in import_module __import__(name) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py", line 13, in <module> raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading MySQLdb module: %s" % e) django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb u...@valkyrie:~/DevProjects/Python/mysite $ mate . u...@valkyrie:~/DevProjects/Python/mysite $ python manage.py syncdb Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 11, in <module> execute_manager(settings) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 362, in execute_manager utility.execute() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 303, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 195, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **options.__dict__) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 221, in execute self.validate() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 249, in validate num_errors = get_validation_errors(s, app) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/validation.py", line 22, in get_validation_errors from django.db import models, connection File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/db/__init__.py", line 41, in <module> backend = load_backend(settings.DATABASE_ENGINE) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/db/__init__.py", line 17, in load_backend return import_module('.base', 'django.db.backends.%s' % backend_name) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/utils/importlib.py", line 35, in import_module __import__(name) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py", line 13, in <module> raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading MySQLdb module: %s" % e) django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb What am I possibly doing wrong?
