Hello, To claim first-class Python 3 support in Django 1.6, we need to recommend a MySQL connector that works. This was discussed a few times on the mailing list, now's the time to make a decision. Here's a summary of the options.
Moist: https://github.com/farcepest/moist - port by Andy, the maintainer of MySQLdb - I don't think it works yet and development has stalled PyMySQL: http://www.pymysql.org/ - pure-Python connector - it doesn't appear to be widely used - support for Python 3 looks a bit sketchy, eg. "run the build-py3k.sh script" - it requires some modifications to the Django database backend, see https://github.com/clelland/django-mysql-pymysql Related thread: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/django-developers/elQlGVnJ5b4/eoIZQ4kG-uIJ MySQL-for-Python-3: https://github.com/davispuh/MySQL-for-Python-3 / https://github.com/clelland/MySQL-for-Python-3 - independent ports, there's a bit of fragmentation and no clear winner but at least they build upon MySQLdb's proven codebase. So, unless someone has a better idea, or Ian objects, I'm going to link to his fork <https://github.com/clelland/MySQL-for-Python-3>.
