When I am editing the backends/settings.py file to configure the database
> DATABASES = {
> 'default': {
> 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
It gives the following error
raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading MySQLdb module: %s" % e)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb
You need to install the MySQLdb module separately; it doesn’t come with the Django distribution itself.
Like Django, it is available on PyPI, so you can install it with
easy_install MySQL-pythonorpip install MySQL-python.
