Noted in 1.1.2 changelog. The DatabaseOperations.last_executed_query() method in the Django base module was unnecessarily decoding the string, resulting in an error when using Python 3.
Description: When you install the MySQL connector/python ver. 1.1.1a1 and try to define the Django Backend, this error is thrown: AttributeError: ‘str’ object has no attribute ‘decode’ How to repeat: Just install the connector, update your django database settings and run: python manage.py syncdb The error appears. Suggested fix: File: mysql/connector/django/base.py on line 278 change return cursor.statement.decode('utf-8') for return cursor.statement Reason: the str on Phyton 3.x are unicode already so the code and decode functions are deprectaed.
