I’m getting this error

Traceback (most recent call last):   File '/home/<username>/flup/server/fcgi_base.py', line 558, in run   File '/home/<username>/flup/server/fcgi_base.py', line 1116, in handler   File '/home/<username>/python/django/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py', line 241, in __call__     response = self.get_response(request)   File '/home/<username>/python/django/django/core/handlers/base.py', line 73, in get_response     response = middleware_method(request)   File '/home/<username>/python/django/django/contrib/sessions/middleware.py', line 10, in process_request     engine = import_module(settings.SESSION_ENGINE)   File '/home/<username>/python/django/django/utils/importlib.py', line 35, in import_module     __import__(name)   File '/home/<username>/python/django/django/contrib/sessions/backends/db.py', line 2, in ?     from django.contrib.sessions.models import Session   File '/home/<username>/python/django/django/contrib/sessions/models.py', line 4, in ?     from django.db import models   File '/home/<username>/python/django/django/db/__init__.py', line 41, in ?     backend = load_backend(settings.DATABASE_ENGINE)   File '/home/<username>/python/django/django/db/__init__.py', line 17, in load_backend     return import_module('.base', 'django.db.backends.%s' % backend_name)   File '/home/<username>/python/django/django/utils/importlib.py', line 35, in import_module     __import__(name)   File '/home/<username>/python/django/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py', line 13, in ?     raise ImproperlyConfigured('Error loading MySQLdb module: %s' % e) ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb

when I try to run this script on my shared server

#!/usr/bin/python import sys, os  sys.path.insert(0, '/home/<username>/python/django') sys.path.insert(0, '/home/<username>/python/django/www') # projects directory  os.chdir('/home/<username>/python/django/www/<project>') os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = '<project>.settings'  from django.core.servers.fastcgi import runfastcgi runfastcgi(method='threaded', daemonize='false')

But, my web host just installed MySQLdb for me a few hours ago. When I run python from the shell I can import MySQLdb just fine. Why would this script report that it can’t find it?

  1. You are missing the python-mysql db driver on your python path. see if you can figure out the pythonpath WSGI is seeing… which can be different from what you are experiencing in shell
