下面是一次用django连接mysql的经历，记录下来也许以后会有帮助。
首先是用django的./manage.py syncdb 去连接mysql
-bash-3.2$ ./manage.py syncdb
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading MySQLdb module: %s" % e)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb
这里面最重要的就是最后一句 No module named MySQLdb. 这说明MySQL-python这个package没有安装成功。于是用pip2.7 install MySQL-python来安装，但是遇到如下错误。

这个错误很长所以只截取一小段来看。发现都是c/c++的头文件找不到，这一般是因为某个dev的包没有找到。在linux上你安装一个软件的时候这个软件通常有两部分，一个是dev包一个是应用包。如果你只要使用的话安装应用包就可以了，但是某些情况下需要dev包。 这里是mysql的一些头文件找不到所以我们应该安装mysql的dev包。 猜测名字应该是类似于mysql-devel

果然有这么一个包。安装之后就可以执行pip install。
