Bugzilla Bug 175821

I have emerged django 0.96. The stable version (1.2.0) of mysql-python has been
installed.

But when I type the command :

python manage.py syncdb

there is an error :
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 11, in ?
    execute_manager(settings)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/management.py", line

    raise ImportError, "MySQLdb-1.2.1p2 or newer is required; you have %s" %
Database.__version__
ImportError: MySQLdb-1.2.1p2 or newer is required; you have 1.2.0



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install django 0.96 on a Gentoo machine (stable)
2. Create a MySQL database.
3. Edit the settings.py configuration file
4. Launch the command : python manage.py syncdb
