You will need to install the MySQLdb driver

pip install mysql-python

Tried that, and returned ----> Referenced from: /Users/msmith/Documents/dj/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so Reason: image not found

You might need to install the MySQL development libraries for your system

What do you mean by that? I have in my pip freeze: MySQL-python==1.2.4
