Yesterday, I was able to to get django, installed with mysql support. I used several websites to get it working right.
1) i installed mysql (64bit) from the official builds on mysql.com
2) i installed virtualenv from setuptools. I typed the following:
$ sudo easy_install virtualenv
3)Â I created directory for my virtual environment for python by typing following:
$ virtualenv -v mydjango
4)Â Downloaded mysql python module from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/files/ placed it in mydango directory.
5) in the shell, i went into mydango directory.
6)Â I then activated the virtualized python envirtonment
7) I then compiled mysql driver by typing the following
$ ARCHFLAGS=”-arch x86_64″ python setup.py build
8)Â installed the driver. typed the following
$ python setup.py install
9)Â I downloaded django and placed it in mydango directory
10) Installed django by typing
$ python setup.py install
