Hi, The install guide recommends using a virtualenv https://pootle.readthedocs.org/en/latest/server/installation.html#setting-up-the-virtual-environment
So within your virtualenv make sure to do: pip install MySQL-python That should be all that's needed, a default install won't install MySQL requirements. I need to look at those docs for this scenario.
