Now lets move to configuration of Django and MySQL, its same across all versions of Mac OS X( 10.10 Yosemite, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.8 Mountain Lion etc) Configure Django with MySQL While configuring Django and MySQL setup, sometimes people get errors in mac os x while installing “MySQL-python” using pip or easy_install, so there is a workaround, you should first install “Homebrew”(its a missing package manager for mac os x) and then run these commands brew install mysql-connector-c sudo pip install MySQL-python Now I hope you already have Django and MySQL installed in your Mac OS X, so you only need to install python connector (you can skip this part if you already have MySQLdb working in your mac). Lets see towards configuration, but there are few prerequisites: In one of my web application developed in Django, had 1.5 million records and it is working perfectly fine (I had to do partitioning in MySQL when the number of records increased to 1 million). MySQL can easily handle around 1 million records. Together they are perfect for each other. Django is a web framework for python and MySQL is relational database management system.

Configuring Django and MySQL is not hard as it seems, just with the right commands its few steps works.
