Comment (by BrianO):

 Sorry if I'm being dumb, but this thread leaves me confused:

 (*)  There's a fork of MySQLdb that works with Python3 and Django 1.5.x?
 What's its URL?
 (**) Does this fork of MySQLdb work with released Django 1.5.4? how about
 with released 1.5.1?

 Thanks in advance.

Comment (by benjaoming):

 What about OurSQL? It has a PyPi package, and the django-connector is
 already written (also with a PyPi package)!

 http://pythonhosted.org/oursql/
 https://github.com/dcramer/django-oursql

 I found it in a mailing thread where SQLAlchemy people were saying that
 the Oracle connector was causing a lot of issues, but OurSQL was the best
 one they'd found. @aaugustin Can you do a similar testing to OurSQL and
 django-oursql and see if it's running smoothly? I think it looks very
 promising, the django-connector even has some limited GIS support.

 I've backported the only commit that really matters.

 Other commits are just ignoring tests that fail because of bugs in the
 MySQLdb port.

Comment (by travis.jensen@…):

 Is there any chance of this getting into 1.5.2?  I realize I can play with
 it on master (and I'll probably start there), but I will have an easier
 time experimenting with it at work if I can say I'm playing with an
 official release. More experimenting from me means the test coverage for
 Django (ok, so maybe not enough to be worth it, but it doesn't hurt to ask
 :).

Comment (by aaugustin):

 This change helps a bit (thanks Claude for spotting the bug):

 {{{

 }}}

 But then another exceptions occurs because MySQL-for-Python-3 assumes that
 all bytestrings can and should be utf-8 decoded (the point of the `str`
 refactor in Python 3 is to forbid this):

 I'm starting to doubt the quality of this port. Either no one's using

Comment:

 It turns out that the tests don't pass...

 I made a few fixes and updated the pull request. The only remaining
 problem pertains to `BinaryField`.

 {{{

 ERROR: test_set_and_retrieve (model_fields.tests.BinaryFieldTests)

 TypeError: string argument without an encoding
 }}}

 (There's also three failures in the `serializers_regress` tests but they
 have the same root cause.)

 `pdb` shows that `dm.data` is `"b'\\x00F\\xfe'"` instead of
 `b'\x00F\xfe'`. In other words, `str()` or `force_str()` was incorrectly
 applied to the value.

Comment (by sleroux):

 At this time, the official MYSQLdb development has stalled.

 There are several forks available on git-hub in order to port that library
 for Python 3:
 * https://github.com/davispuh/MySQL-for-Python-3
 * https://github.com/clelland/MySQL-for-Python-3
 * ...

 '''At first sight''', those ports seem to work with django-1.6 (master
 dev) -- with the minor modification of removing the ''use_unicode''
 connection param. This modification was already available there:
 
https://github.com/vsajip/django/blob/django3/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py#L386
 '''however''' some sources state that there is a ''bunch of issues [...]
 in non-ascii environment'':
 http://python.6.n6.nabble.com/MySQL-
 Django-1-6-Python3-tt5009591.html#a5009904

 As of myself, I've done some (very basic) preliminary tests using clelland
 /MySQL-for-Python-3 alone: Inserting and retrieving data containing non-
 ASCII characters (é, à, ç, è) appears to work. By examining the output of
 mysqldump, strings have been correctly encoded at DB level. I performed my
 tests using both utf8 and latin1 as DB charset. Maybe there is some
 problems with the integration of both "Django 1.6" and "MySQL for Python
 3"?

 So, if someone could post here some data/link to the possible issues with
 MySQL-for-Python-3 & Django, that would help things in order ''not'' to
 drop MySQL support in Python 3 environment.

 If MySQLdb isn't ported to Python 3 by the time we release 1.6 alpha, we
 should either recommend an alternative if there's a solid one, or document
 that Django cannot be used with MySQL on Python 3.
