Django 1.5.1 - Mysql - Setting

[Muhammad Ahmed]

Hi, 

I have been trying to launch my Django Model using a tutorial. but unfortunately the tutorial is about Django 1.1.

Kindly guide me that what configuration (in setting.py) will be required if I use Python27 / Django 1.5.1 with Mysql. 

please also guide towards the appropriate "MySql Adoptor" for Django 1.5.1. 

Thanks in advance :)

Ahmed,

For connecting Django to MySQL, I use MySQL-python, installed
via pip as:
    pip install MySQL-python

My settings file contains:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE'    : 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME'      : 'name of our database',
        'USER'      : 'username to access the database',
        'PASSWORD'  : 'password to access the database',
        # Required for Windows; Harmless (same as default) for Linux
        'HOST'      : '127.0.0.1',
        # Required for Windows; Harmless (same as default) for Linux
        'PORT'      : '3306',
    },

Thank you very much Fred for your detailed answer. 

I have never used pip. I will be pleased if you kindly provide a reference / tutorial link to understand pip. 

Or the direct link to adapter. I am using Win7 x86. 

Thanks indeed for your help.
