django-mysql

django-mysql comes to boost Django's built-in MySQL support, also allowing interaction with MariaDB, an open source, community fork of MySQL started by the database's original creator.

The module comes as a completion to Django's native MySQL capabilities, adding extra support for:
- user locking
- access to status variables
- quick estimates for the number of objects
- quicker admin

django-mysql works with both major branches of the Python language, 2.x and 3.x.

The module can be easily installed via Python's classic installation tools and should provide more in-depth support for MySQL interfacing operations.
