Python 3.6.1
Django 2.0
Mac OS 10.13.3
Following the instruction given in
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/databases/#mysql-notes,
installed pymysql with pip and then modified the settings.py to set up the
adaptor according to https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en
/connector-python-django-backend.html, the url given by the official
document.
Then when executing {{{python3 manage.py makemigrations}}} error appears
which displays {{{ImportError: No module named 'MySQLdb}}}. It is likely
that django still uses MySQLdb, which is not supported by python3, as
default in the release.
The fix that works for me would be adding following code in the
{{{__init__.py}}} of the site to use pymysql to replace mysqldb.
{{{
import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()
}}}
