title: MySQL Workbench error when adding a connection
body: <p>I'm new to mac and mySQL. I installed mySQL 5.6.14 and mySQLWorkbench 1.6. I turned on mySQL in system preferences.</p>
  
  <p>Then I went into workbench, clicked to add a new connection and filled in the details: host is localhost; username is root; password is empty/nothing. Tested the connection and its all good.</p>
  
  <p>Clicked OK and got this error: Exception caught while processing action from home screen: error calling Python module function WbAdmin.autoDetectLocalInstance.</p>
  
  <p>I also can not access mySQL from the terminal.</p>
  
  <p>I've googled and can't find anything. Has anyone got any ideas of what could be wrong something I could try to fix it.</p>
