Description
New to Django I found that I needed an updated version of MySQLdb. As I am on Windows (for learning
Django) messing with MySQLdb is a bit fraught because the author does not actually support
Windows. I found that python manage.py syncdb failed with the error ImportError: cannot import name ImmutableSet
The fix for this is at http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/InstallationPitfalls (remove sets.py from MySQLdb folder) but
it took me a long time to find it. I wondered about PYTHONPATH (which I normally never use), about my Python 2.4.4 not
being upt to date enough for the MySQLdb. So I would suggest that a link to the issue is included in the
paragraph MySQLdb on the page http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/databases/.
