Django is trying to run the "mysql" command and assumes it exists and is
on your execution path -- not your Python path, but the path that is
searched for executable binaries.

So can you run "mysql" at a shell prompt? I'm not sure if this is a
separate thing that needs to be installed on OS X, but the error you're
seeing seems to suggest that this program isn't available.
