Today I removed the Django backend using MySQL Connector/Python out of the trunk and made it available through another branch on Launchpad. I'm not officially maintaining this, but it is used in my Django-powered homepage. I had to pull it out because I couldn't keep up compatibility with newer versions.
Maybe a backend using Connector/Python 1.0 might go into Django as an alternative to MySQLdb? Who knows!

django had a mysql backend that didn't force us to compile MySQLdb ?

@Marco

I made my own Django DB back-end using MySQL Connector/Python. It was part of the Connector/Python source tree.

So it was never part of official Django distribution. Sorry if I have caused confusion there.

2 questions:

about this MySQL Connector/Python shouldn't it be transparent from the django point of view ? I mean if I use MySQL Connector/Python or MySQLdb django should not notice the difference right ?

2nd: is this Connector able to run on jython ?

cheers
