That package installs into my python directory but not python3.  I'm currently trying to get Django 1.5 to work with python3.  Are there other ways currently to get mysql to work with django and the python3 environment?

ok, so what needs to happen here?  Do I need to recode /usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py to use this new module?

Which version of django ?
Is this one version has python 3.x support ?

Correct, Sergiy.  As I fiddle with this nightly, the core of my issue seems to be that mysqldb is not yet python3 ready and django 1.5 is calling for it.  I changed my database settings in settings.py to 'django.db.backends.mysql' which in return calls for mysqldb when I do:

python manage.py syncdb

I suppose at this point I'm just seeking anyone who has tried to run django 1.5 and has MySQL actually working.  If so, how?

I guess this is the meaning of 'experimental support'. Patches are
probably welcome, or you could use sqlite or postgres.
