He A no está configurado correctamente la sensación de que MySQLdb con Django, me preguntaba si me falta cualquier cosa. me encontré con los siguientes comandos justo antes de que:

# apt-get install python-django 
# apt-get install python-mysqldb 

Answer 1

Tuve este mismo problema por el que mi virtualenv se rompió y ya no podía correr Django cuando actualicé a Ubuntu 12.04.

simplemente me encontré (mientras mi EV fue activa)

pip uninstall MySQL-python 

y luego volver a instalar con

pip install MySQL-python 

funcionó bien después de eso.
