django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured：加载 MySQLdb 模块时出错：

我正在关注 django 教程，很多人都问过这个问题，但我认为我的情况有点独特，因为安装 python-mysql 后，当我尝试执行 python manage.pysyncdb 时，我仍然收到此错误，

我在 virtualenv 中，因为我使用 macports 来管理我的 python 安装，我创建了 virtualenv

virtualenv code/vdjango --no-site-packages --python=/opt/local/bin/python

在此之前使用 macports 我安装了 djangopy27-django，但是在创建我的 virtualenv 之后，我认为最好将 django 安装到 virtualenv 上，所以我使用pip install django==1.5

根据 django 教程，我编辑了 settings.py 文件，然后执行 python manage.pysyncdb ，最终出现以下错误：

[~/code/vdjango/newsite]$python manage.py syncdb

为了确认我已经安装了 python-mysql 包，我再次运行了 pip install，

(vdjango)mac-pro@localhost:[~/code/vdjango/newsite]$pip install python-mysqldb
Downloading/unpacking python-mysqldb
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement python-mysqldb
No distributions at all found for python-mysqldb
Storing complete log in /Users/mac-pro/.pip/pip.log

那么这里发生了什么？看起来我已经拥有了进一步学习教程所需的一切，但是 python/django 抱怨没有 mysqldb。

我的 libmysqlclient.18.dylib 位于 /usr/local/mysql/lib/ 但我的系统正在 /usr/lib/ 中寻找它。我最终在 /usr/lib 中创建了 libmysqlclient.18.dylib 的符号链接，解决了问题。

1.) 确保 libmysqlclient.18.dylib 存在于 /usr/local/mysql/lib/ 中。

打开你的外壳。

sudo -s
ls /usr/local/mysql/lib/ | grep libmysqlclient.18.dylib

您应该看到该文件：

libmysqlclient.18.dylib

如果没有，请在系统中搜索该文件的位置：

find / -name libmysqlclient.18.dylib

2.) 在/usr/lib中创建libmysqlclient.18.dylib的符号链接

在 shell 中输入以下命令：

ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib

如果您的 libmysqlclient.18.dylib 文件不在 /usr/local/mysql/lib 中，请将第一个路径替换为 libmysqlclient.18.dylib 的正确路径。

希望这有帮助。
