Problem running syncdb in django

问题

I am trying to go through the django docs tutorial and having a problem syncing mysql. On the command python manage.py syncdb I get the following error (note I'm running in windows 7):

...
File "C:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\db\backends\mysql\base.py", line 14, in <module>
raise Improperlyconfigured("Error loading Mysqldb module: %s" % e) 
django.core.excepions.Improperlyconfigured: Error loading Mysqldb module: No module named mySQLdb

I have initialized the db in setting.py as:

'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 
'NAME': 'mysite',    #the name I gave in Mysql with 'CREATE DATABASE mysite;'                 
'USER': 'root',                      
'PASSWORD': 'mypassword',   # as set in MysqlInstanceConfig
'HOST': '',                     
'PORT': '',  

So how do I get syncdb to run correctly? What does the missing module error mean and how do I correct it?

回答1:

You need to install the python mysql library. Here is a django-related guide to do this on windows

回答2:

You have to install the mySQLdb module.

回答3:

You most probably haven't installed the Python module that handles the mysql connections. You can install it through the Cheeseshop with pip or easy_install and it's called MySQL-python.
