python - NameError: name '_mysql' is not defined after setting change to mysql

I have a running Django blog with sqlite3 db at my local machine. What I want is to

  1. convert sqlite3 db to mysql db
  2. change Django settings.py file to serve MySQL db

Before I ran into the first step, I jumped into the second first. I followed this web page (on MacOS). I created databases called djangolocaldb on root user and have those infos in /etc/mysql/my.cnf like this:

# /etc/mysql/my.cnf

[client]
database=djangolocaldb
user=root
password=ROOTPASSWORD
default-character-set=utf8

Of course I created db, but not table within it.

mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| djangolocaldb      |
| employees          |
| information_schema |
| mydatabase         |
| mysql              |
| performance_schema |
| sys                |
+--------------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

I changed settings.py like this as the web page suggested. Here's how:

# settings.py

...

# Database
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/settings/#databases

DATABASES = {
        'default': {
            'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
            #'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
            'OPTIONS' : {
                'read_default_file': '/etc/mysql/my.cnf',
                }
            }
        }

...

Now, when I ran python manage.py runserver with my venv activated, I got a brutal traceback like this(I ran python manage.py migrate first, and the traceback looked almost the same anyway):

NameError: name '_mysql' is not defined

So this NameError: name '_mysql' is not defined is the problem. I installed mysqlclient before, changed settings.py, made db in mysql, but none of the steps made it any helpful yet.

And I noticed that even I changed my settings.py back to sqlite3, my blog spit the same _mysql not defined error. So I ended up reverting my commit and now I'm back to sqlite3 (at least my blog is running with it).

I'm guessing it could be that I didn't convert data first, but I'm not 100% sure of it.

Any suggestion would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

If you still see _mysql not defined error when you run python manage.py migrate somehow, check out the following two settings.

  1. If you see mysqlclient when you run pip freeze in your python virtual environment like so,
(.venv) ?  SqlDjango git:(master) ? pip freeze
...
Django==3.0.8
mysqlclient==2.0.1
...

make sure you installed mysqlclient in your python virtual environment, not mysql-client. The former supports python3, whereas the latter supports python2, which I assume is not probably what you want.

  1. Make sure you put the following line in your bash config file(~/.zshrc for zsh, or ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile for bash etc.)
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/

After that, apply change by runnig source ~/.your_shell_config_file. See python manage.py migrate works.

So, I'm answering my own question. Since my blog has database, I gave it a shot to make another project without db, start fresh.

What I noticed was there's a problem importing MySQLdb module(sub module of mysqlclient) with this traceback: Library not loaded: @rpath/libmysqlclient.21.dylib.

For browsing a few hours I realised that for some reason Mac security setting keeps this from being imported properly.

On mysqlclient library github I found one issue reporting the same as mine. It suggests I run cp -r /usr/local/mysql/lib/* /usr/local/lib/. After this I set settings.py for django.db.backends.mysql, ran python manage.py migrate and it worked. So for empty database, this could be a solution. Still struggling with database one though.

I use

  • MacOS Catalina 10.15.6
  • pyenv
