I have the exact same issue, also with Dreamhost. I tried the "mysql_old" thing, but still got the same error. Here's the relevant part of the stack trace:
File "/django_src/django/db/backends/mysql_old/introspection.py", line 1, in ? from django.db.backends.mysql.base import quote_name File "/django_src/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py", line 20, in ? raise ImportError, "MySQLdb-1.2.1p2 or newer is required; you have %s" % Database.__version__ ImportError: MySQLdb-1.2.1p2 or newer is required; you have 1.2.1g3 My checkout is up-to-date (Revision 4767). Any help would be awesome.
