title: Django and mysql problems on Mavericks
body: <p>I'm running Mac OSX 10.9 Mavericks. I'm trying to run django under python 3. Because I'm running Python 3 I have to get the official connector from the mysql devs <a href="https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/">here</a> gave it a quick test in the shell and it works.</p>
  
  <p>I ran <code>python manage.py runserver</code> with <code>"mysql.connector.django"</code> as the engine having seen an example <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-django-backend.html">here</a>  and I got this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 'mysql.connector.django' isn't an available database backend.
  Try using 'django.db.backends.XXX', where XXX is one of:
  u'mysql', u'oracle', u'postgresql_psycopg2', u'sqlite3'
  Error was: No module named mysql.connector.django.base
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I switch back to the default using <code>"django.db.backends.mysql"</code> as my engine and I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have no idea how to proceed. I can't install MySQLdb because I'm running my django install under python3 and it's unsupported, but I'm definitely missing something with this connector.</p>
