Hi Christian, I'll try to answer some of your questions! Right now the release on pypi only works with up to Django 1.6.11. A new release supporting 1.7 and 1.8 will be coming soon, for now you should be pretty safe using the master branch on Github (that is what will be released soon). You can install master from github using pip by doing this:
pip install -e git+https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine.git#egg=Mezzanine As far as MySQL goes, if MySQLdb doesn't work with Python 3 then the answer is most likely no. People on the Django users group would probably be more knowledgeable about it. I know that Mezzanine does work with custom user models. I'm not sure how integrated that is with the way Mezzanine handles users updating their profile (name, email, and additional fields that traditionally were pulled from the AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE). Hopefully someone more knowledgeable on that topic will point you in the right direction.
