If you attempt to connect to a MySql instance using Named Pipes on
Windows, Django is going to look for the 32-bit version of MariaDb
Connector/C. It looks for it here:

C:/Program Files (x86)/mariadb-
connector-c/lib/mariadb/plugin/pvio_npipe.dll

As seen in this error message:

django.db.utils.OperationalError: (2059, "Plugin pvio_npipe could not be
loaded: The specified module could not be found. Library path is
'C:/Program Files (x86)/mariadb-
connector-c/lib/mariadb/plugin/pvio_npipe.dll'")

This path is incorrect, with folders shuffled. The correct, default path
that Connector/C installs into is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MariaDB\MariaDB Connector
C\lib\plugin\pvio_npipe.dll

Notice that "MariaDb" appears earlier in the correct path, than it does in
the incorrect one. The real path also uses spaces while the one Python is
looking for uses dashes.

* status: new => closed
* resolution: => invalid

Comment:

First of all MariaDB Connector is not supported by Django. Also, Django
has nothing to do with selecting the correct library by the 3rd party
packages.
