problema django y mysql

[j0nathan]

Buenos días.

Estoy siguiendo el tutorial de maestros del web sobre django
tengo instalado xampp 1.7.4 con el servicio de mysql instalado

ya instale python 2.7.3 y django 1.4.2

configure el archivo settings.py de la siguiente manera

Código:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': 'test',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': 'root',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': 'pass',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': 'localhost',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '3306',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
    }
}

pero cuando ejecuto el comando python manage.py syncdb me genera el siguiente error:

Código:

Traceback (most recent call last):

alguien me podria guiar como solucionar este problema.

Hay que leer el error, casi siempre es útil.

Tienes que instalar el módulo MySQL para python, varía un poco dependiendo del sistema operativo, pero puedes probar : http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/files/
