I am new to both python and django. I am trying to get python 3.4 and django 1.6.4 working within a pyvenv-3.4 environment on Linux Mint Mate 13. I followed the procedures of Using a virtual environment with Python 3.4 for "Building Python 3.4 from source" and "Using pyvenv-3.4". Then following the Django tutorial at Writing your first Django app, I was able to create "mysite" with startproject. But the command "python manage.py runserver" failed with
django.core.exceptions.
ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading either pysqlite2 or sqlite3 modules
(tried in that order):
No module named '_sqlite3'
Sorry, I do not recall why I resorted to compiling from source, but it may be that I was unable to find pyvenv in the standard Ubuntu downloads using apt-get. In any case, the Makefile for the source distribution does not have an "uninstall" target, so it seems I am stuck with whatever make installed, and without a plan for what to do next to actually get pyvenv-python-django working.
I am updating this post by attaching the full error:
$ python manage.py runserver

It sounds like you didn't have the SQLite development libraries installed at the time you built CPython from source. The build process conditionally includes some features based the availability of underlying development libraries.
On Debian GNU/Linux and derivatives, install libsqlite3-dev. Then re-run ./configure, make and make install.

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

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

Did you install mysqlclient?
I've installed everything, but it doesnt work.
I created the virtual environment inside the projects folder:
$ virtualenv projectenv --python=python3.7
$ source projectenv/bin/activate
After that I've installed the plugins with pip:
$ pip list
Package Version
----------- -------
Django 2.2.5
mysqlclient 1.4.4
pip 19.2.3
pytz 2019.2
setuptools 41.2.0
sqlparse 0.3.0
wheel 0.33.6
As you can see, the packages are correctly installed. Also msqlclient is installed. I don't know what else to do, I've consulted a lot of posts on Stackoverflow, but none of them have solved my problem.
I have encountered same problem. I am not sure about AWS but I was having problem on my Mac. So what happens is that security of Mac do not let that settings access the file MySQLdb._mysql. So,I just run the command sudo cp -r /usr/local/mysql/lib/* /usr/local/lib/ and after running command python manage.py migrate, it worked. Hope my answer finds the solution you're looking for. Have a nice day!
I am getting the following error while executing python3 manage.py dbshell on my mac.

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module.
Did you install mysqlclient?
I have already installed mysqlclient. I have looked at other answers on StackOverflow but none of them seems to work. Please help!
pip3 install mysqlclient
Requirement already satisfied: mysqlclient in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages (1.3.12)
Use the below command to solve your issue,
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
I was finally able to solve it and hence I am writing a solution of my own question. This should work for anyone using MAC and Python 3.
I did the following:
Step 1: On terminal, I editted the ~/.bash_profile and added the following to the paths:
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin
alias mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
alias mysql_config=/usr/local/mysql/mysql_config
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/
PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin/:${PATH}"
export PATH
Step 2: Restarted the system. Changes only get affected after a restart.
This worked for me.
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
