 If you are trying to use an older version of MySQL and the ``mysql_old``
 backend, then 1.2.0 *might* work for you.
 
+.. note::
+    If you see ``ImportError: cannot import name ImmutableSet`` when trying to
+    use Django, your MySQLdb installation may contain an outdated ``sets.py``
+    file that conflicts with the built-in module of the same name from Python
+    2.4 and later. To fix this, verify that you have installed MySQLdb version
+    1.2.1p2 or newer, then delete the ``sets.py`` file in the MySQLdb
+    directory that was left by an earlier version.
