But this is not the true error. The real problem is the version checking routines here: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py#L13
Is raises a ImportError, too!

So i don't see message ""MySQLdb-1.2.1p2 or newer is required; you have..."" i see the wrong error messages from above: ""No module named mysql.base""

Solution: I think the Version Exception must be a different class and not the generetic ImportError."		closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	dev		duplicate	mysql		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
