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 1672, in execute_manager execute_from_command_line(action_mapping, argv) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/management.py", line 1571, in execute_from_command_line action_mapping[action](int(options.verbosity), options.interactive) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/management.py", line 486, in syncdb from django.db import connection, transaction, models, get_creation_module File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/django/db/__init__.py", line 11, in ? backend = __import__('django.db.backends.%s.base' % settings.DATABASE_ENGINE, {}, {}, ['']) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py", line 20, in ? 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.
