Comment:

This happens right on startup on a shared hosting provider. I am finding
the traceback message unhelpful, since I am using
"django.db.backends.mysql" in the settings.py and MySQLdb is definitely
installed.

Comment:

It works for me, and there really isn't enough information to work out why
it this is happening. The only thing I can suggest is that Django has not
been installed properly or fully. Clearly the 'mysql' directory exists,
otherwise you would not get that error message, but it must be broken in
some way, and this might not be anything to do with the code that we
released.

Please re-open if you can provide enough information for us to work out
why this is happening, and it is a bug in Django. A command like this
might help:
{{{
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE='your_settings.py' python2.5 -c 'import
django.db.backends.mysql.base'
}}}

Comment (by kurvenschubser@…):

looks like a circular import, I guess.
I tried versions 1.2.5 and 1.1.1 as well, it's the same issue.

I found that this error occurred for me when I migrated files from another
server, but forgot to change template path. I fixed the path, and the
error stopped. I think a munged path in the settings file causes this.

Comment (by aaugustin):

When importing `django.db.backends.mysql.base`:

- `django/db/__init__.py` executes successfully
- `django/db/__init__.py`:
- imports `ConnectionHandler` from `django.db.utils`
- at this point the `utils` module from `django.db` is imported and
working.
- runs `connections = ConnectionHandler(settings.DATABASES)`
- reaches `connection = connections[DEFAULT_DB_ALIAS]` which appears in
the traceback above.
- at the bottom the traceback, `django/db/backends/mysql/base.py` fails to
import `utils` from `django.db`.

This is just weird.

Did you try to contact your hosting provider's technical support? Since
it's a shared host, I guess you're using a version of Django installed by
them at the system level. You must not be the only one trying to use
Django with MySQL.

I take this back. This circular import happens all of the time, except
when using sqlite.

#16136: Error was: cannot import name utils

Comment (by aaugustin):

kurvenschubser, I just had a discussion with ramiro on IRC. To understand
better your problem, here is what we need.

1) Can you run the same project locally:
- with runserver
- with Apache + mod_wsgi
and with MySQL. If this works, it means that the problem is triggered your
hosting provider's setup.

2) Could you post your settings file? If there is a circular import loop,
it's probably triggered by your settings.

Thanks.

#16136: Error was: cannot import name utils

Comment (by aaugustin):

I don't see anything in your settings that could trigger a circular
import.

There's something unexpected that happens only on your production server.

The two tickets Ramiro linked to above were never fully understood. It'd
be nice to nail down the root cause of this problem.

I just got a call from the sysadmin. They checked the settings.py and some

Can you provide us with details of the mod_wsgi setups (embedded mode v.
daemon mode, etc.) both in your shared hosting provider and in your local
test environment?

I suspect this is strongly related:

http://groups.google.com/group/django-

i.e. the cause of this breakage is a Python web stack setup problem in the
hosting provider.

Now that Py26 is being used, everything works as it should. They did an

Comment:

I have run into this problem today when taking over an existing project.
The site was developed against Django 1.1, There is no 1.1 through PIP so
I attempted to set it up against 1.3.3 but kept getting this error. After
hours of trying to resolve this and as a last ditch effort I installed
Django 1.2.7 and to my surprise the error went away. I have added myself
to the CC list and so will assist further if needed. However I believe the
work around is enough to leave this ticket closed as this project's does
utilize an overly complicated `settings` approach which my gut tells me is
the cause.
