django-mysql 0.1.2

Extensions to Django for use with MySQL/MariaDB

MySQL and its fork MariaDB have a number of features which are not available in vanilla Django - this package helps you get at them.

Featuring

Here’s a short list of what’s inside:

• User locks - easy locking between your distributed servers

• Easy access to server status variables

• approx_count on QuerySet for quick estimates of the number of objects - and a quicker admin

• ‘Smart’ iteration methods on QuerySet for efficient iteration over large sets of objects slice-by-slice

All are documented at http://django-mysql.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ .

Requirements

Tested with:

• Python: 2.7, 3.3, 3.4

• Django: 1.7

• MySQL: 5.5, 5.6 / MariaDB: 5.5, 10.0, 10.1

• mysqlclient: 1.3.5 (Python 3 compatible version of MySQL-python)

Any combination of these should be good.
