#10936: Detailed instructions for getting Django and MySQL and MySQLdb working on various OS X versions ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: simon | Owner: nobody Status: new | Milestone: Component: Documentation | Version: SVN Keywords: mysqldb | Stage: Unreviewed Has_patch: 0 | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Getting MySQLdb working on OS X is an absolute nightmare, which has resulted in a flurry of blog posts such as the following:
http://www.keningle.com/?p=11 This really shouldn't be our problem since it's not a Django issue - but OS X / MySQL are an extremely common development platform for our user base and it makes a really bad impression if people can't get up and running with this (especially since PHP + MySQL on OS X works pretty much out of the box). I just had to talk someone through this over the phone and it was a bit embarrassing having to admit how miserable the MySQL / OS X installation experience for Django actually is. We could do this as part of a larger project to bulk out our installation instructions for other platforms as well. -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10936> Django <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
