Answer 1

As an extension to @karthikr's comment above, the ticket regarding this issue has been "fixed" and closed - although you will notice the fix is merely a change in the documentation acknowledging the problems of porting Django to Python 3.

You have 2 realistic options at this point:

1. Use Python 2.x and keep using MySql.
2. Use Python 3.x and change your database backend.
