Comment:

When importing django.db.backends.mysql.base:

• django/db/__init__.py executes successfully
• django/db/__init__.py:
  • imports ConnectionHandler from django.db.utils
    • at this point the utils module from django.db is imported and working.
  • runs connections = ConnectionHandler(settings.DATABASES)
  • reaches connection = connections[DEFAULT_DB_ALIAS] which appears in the traceback above.
• at the bottom the traceback, django/db/backends/mysql/base.py fails to import utils from django.db.

This is just weird.

Did you try to contact your hosting provider's technical support? Since it's a shared host, I guess you're using a version of Django installed by them at the system level. You must not be the only one trying to use Django with MySQL.
