Description
Hello! I’ve recently started one more project based on Django. The other day I decided to change the DB from mySQLlite to MySQL and, to my surprise, the configuration that I had used in my previous project (Django 2.1.7) was not working. I’ve spent a lot of time on figuring out what was going wrong with it on my MacBook, and it turned out that it has not been possible to use MySQL connection since Django 2.2a1. In order to connect, I’ve always used PyMySQL, and it worked with:
import pymysql pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()
Now, with versions starting from 2.2a1 to 2.2.4, it throws an error and says that I haven’t installed some packages whereas I have done it. Again, this bug can be easily noticed just by installing a fresh Django project + setting a Mysql DB connection on Mac + switching between versions.
It has nothing to do with PyMySQL as its version hasn't changed.
