Am using the following tutorial located here.
Created a mysite database in MySQL 5 running on Snow Leopard.

Make sure to create your database and with your MySQL server running try to connect to the database to check that database name, username and password are correct. then run:
1) pip install mysqlclient
pip install mysqlclient
2) python manage.py migrate
python manage.py migrate
