Off the top of my head, I would suggest you have nothing in the
section DATABASES in your settings.py

Does your settings.py have something that looks like:

DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.DBNAME',
'NAME': 'xe',
'USER': 'a_user',
'PASSWORD': 'a_password',
'HOST': '',
'PORT': '',
}
}

Hi, It seems that. config file doesnt hv the section you are looking for.
Use Config.sections() to list the available sections in your config file 

>>> import ConfigParser
>>> Config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
>>> Config
<ConfigParser.ConfigParser instance at 0x00BA9B20>
>>> Config.read("configfile.ini")
['tomorrow.ini']
>>> Config.sections()
['Others', 'SectionThree', 'SectionOne', 'SectionTwo']

Although a quick google of the phrase is showing up lots of
mysql-python hits - is python-mysqldb (for ubuntu, YMMV) installed
correctly on your system?

Cheers

[Navnath Gadakh]

yes mysql db is installed on my ubuntu

Thats the same I'm saying to you.
In your settings.conf. There is no section named 'database'
create a section in that file to store your database info.

os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'settings.conf')

Look again: there *is* a [database] section at the very bottom:

[database]
engine    : django.db.backends.mysql
name      : kasakoo
user      : root
password  : password
host      : localhost
port      : 3306
