4393	DjangoProject web site download section makes a semi false claim	nathanblack@…	Jacob	"Hey there,

On the djangoproject->download page it states that ""It requires Python version 2.3 or higher, but it has no dependencies on other Python libraries."" However under version 0.96 forward the MySQL back end now requires version 1.2.1p2 as per the release notes for 9.6

I know it isn't strictly required since you can use other db formats, but it caused a lot of confusion for me today.

(sorry there aren't direct links, but akismet kicked me back)

Thanks,

Nathan"		closed	*.djangoproject.com	dev		duplicate	documentation intital setup 0.96 MySQL		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
