FW: MySQLdb version doesn't match _mysql version

[Hadassa Golovenshitz]

 

Hi everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to look at my question.

 

I’m setting up a django project that I got from a code repository, and in trying to run ./manage.py syncdb I get the following error:

 

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: this is MySQLdb version (1, 2, 3, 'final', 0), but _mysql is version (1, 2, 2, 'final', 0).

 

I get the same error when running import MySQLdb at the python command line interpreter. Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve spent hours searching for similar posts, but no solutions seem to help me.

 

I’d appreciate any suggestions!

Seems you mysqldb (the Python DB-API 2.0 compatible library to access
MySQL databases) installation is borked.

mysqldb is composed of two layers:

_mysql is a low level one, a more or less thin wrapper over the C mysql client
libraries.

On top of that there is mysldb itself, that uses the services of _mysql
and implemets the DB-API specification.

You seem to have a a corrupt copy because both pieces are released together,
and when a correct installation has been performed, they are built and installed
together with matching version IDs.

You might find better answers in a mailing list or IRC channel
devoted to mysqldb. This isn't a Django -related or -specific issue.

Hold on, i would say this is a django-related question (albeit not related to a problem within django). OP - try removing and reinstalling mysqldb on your python install and/or env.

Is there documentation available on how to use the django-sms -gateway API? I am new to django entirely, even slightly new to web development, but I have a model that might not need webpages if I get my sms application right. At least I can to push a demo to my investors, before I take time to learn templating languages etc

May be you can try to remove the mysql and python-mysqldb, and then reinstall them.

and ensure the  new python-mysqldb and  the  mysql match.  

Good Luck.

Hi,
Just to let everyone know - I uninstalled the mysql-python package for
the server (not just in my virtualenv) and re-installed it, and that
fixed the issue.
Thanks for your help!
