I am using Django for the first time but have used PostgreSQL previously. I am trying to follow the official Django tutorial to set up with a database. I have followed everything but I get an error when using the command "python manage.py migrate" that psycopg2 is not found even though I have it
installed.Traceback (most recent call last):

I am using the settings as mentioned in the Django tutorial:
DATABASES = {

'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
'NAME': 'DatabaseName',
'USER': 'UserName',
'PASSWORD': 'Userpassword',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '5432',
}
}
I have confirmed that I have the necessary packages installed and in the same location :
pip freeze:
Django==4.1.3
psycopg2==2.9.5
psycopg2-binary==2.9.5
pip show Django/psycopg2/psycopg2-binary:
Django : Location: /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.10/site-packages
Psycopg2: Location: /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.10/site-packages
psycopg2-binary: Location: /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.10/site-packages
It's seems like you use system python for running your migrations. Error traceback contains following path of python binary: "/Users/alexanderverheecke/Library/Python/3.9/...", however in pip show command your python path is "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.10/".
Actually I don't understand how it's even possible, because first one looks like Windows path and the second one like Linux...
Anyway. Try something of this and run migrate command again:
activate/deactivate virtual environment if you use it
change your OS to the correct one
run pip install again
Make shure command which python(for Linux), gcm python (for Windows) returns the same python path as pip show.

This week I started working home and tried installing my project on my PC but it won't work.
I cloned the git repo, installed MySQL Workbench and Server and stuff, installed Visual C++ stuffs
and loads of modules from my requirements.txt.
But when I try to run ./manage.py migrate it spits out this:
$ py manage.py migrate

Did you install mysqlclient?
Now I did install mysqlclient:
$ pip install mysqlclient
Collecting mysqlclient
Using cached mysqlclient-2.1.0-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl (180 kB)
Installing collected packages: mysqlclient
Successfully installed mysqlclient-2.1.0
All of this is happening with a newly made venv using python 3.10, Django 3.2.7 and SQL Server 8.0
I googled about 2 hours which didn't help at all, because all I could find was "use pip install mysqlclient", which I obviously did. Sometimes I find things like "install using a wheel file". But I can't find a wheel file for 3.10. Or "use pip install mysql-python" or something like that but then I get an error saying I need Visual C++ 14.0, which I'm pretty sure I have...
So, I'm lost. Please please help me out.
I am trying to get Django going with mySQL. I have started the app I can see all manage.py and other files. and in setting i changed:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'app',
'USERNAME': 'root',
'PASSWORD': 'root',
'HOST': 'localhost',
}
}
I have installed mySQL separately, I have XAMPP I started it but when I run:
python manage.py migrate
I get the following errors:

Did you install mysqlclient?
I didnt have this problem before, I think there are some different versions of Django or maybe the MySQL giving me problems.
I am using virtualenv and I have gone through many similar problems in Stackoverflow but no luck.
I have ran these commands:
pip install mysqlclient
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb (command not found)
pip install mysql-python
still getting the same error.
Questions:
How can i remove all old versions of Django?
what is the solution for getting rid of this error?
I'm new to Django and I am running Django inside a virtualenv on MacOS with python 3.6. The command $python3 manage.py migrate but I keep getting an error asking me to install mysqlclient.

Did you install mysqlclient?
pip3 freeze looks like this:
Django==2.0.1
mysqlclient==1.3.12
pytz==2017.3
Which other driver would I be able to use?
I am running it in the virtual environment that I created. Also pip install MySQL-python doesn't work on my Mac as python 2.7 comes pre-installed and to run Django 2.0, I installed Python 3.6 and for that when I run pip3 install MySQL-python, I get an No Module named 'ConfigParser' error.
Try
pip3 install
Instead of pip install
Since you are using python 3
And check if python3-dev is installed in your system
So I had this running yesterday when I was running the virtualenv out of my home directory. I've ran in to this problem a number of times now without a clear answer. I've done a lot of research on this but there seems to be no black and white answer. Today I moved my virtualenv to /usr/local/virtualenvs to better manage my projects and viola, it's broken again. Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named 'MySQLdb' is the bane of my existence right now. I can't seem to fix it this time. I have even tried duplicating what I did back into my home directory and have the very same problem. I haven't deleted any packages from my system. I installed the very same packages in the virtualenv. At this point I'm lost. I've even written down the steps I took from a fresh install to get to a working virtualenv. I certainly don't want to go back to a fresh install. Please help :)

Thanks in advance.
Added
try:
import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()
except ImportError:

to manage.py and wsgi.py
Now working.
I am setting up a web server for Python on Windows. While configuring settings.py, I changed the database to
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'db_name',
'USER' : 'root',
'PASSWORD' : '123456',
'HOST' : 'localhost'
}
}
I ran python manage.py makemigrations for verification of settings. It threw the following error:

Then I went to the Python 3 package index to install MySQLdb, but I did not find any supporting packages.
I have downloaded the "mysqlclient-1.3.7-cp27-none-win32" from the Python 3 package index. I installed it with pip install package_name. I even tried installing the wheel package before installing it, but nothing is working. How do I connect MySQL on Windows?
This installation error is coming with Python 3.5.1.
