django-mysql-pymysql 0.1

django-mysql-pymysql
====================

This is a Django database backend for MySQL, using the PyMySQL database adapter. It is intended to be a drop-in replacement for the built-in MySQLdb backend, and leverages quite a bit of its code.

It is currently experimental, and has only been tested against Django trunk (1.4-pre-alpha), and Vinay Sajip's Py3k branch on BitBucket (https://bitbucket.org/vinay.sajip/django). At the moment, it won't work with Django 1.3, as it uses Aymeric Augustin's timezone-aware datetime patch.


Requirements
------------

* Django trunk or Py3k Branch
* PyMySQL (patches here: https://github.com/clelland/PyMySQL)
