MySQL Bugs: #72746: Tests fail in Django 1.7

Bug #72746	Tests fail in Django 1.7
Submitted:	26 May 2014 7:41	Modified:	22 Jul 2014 14:39
Reporter:	Markus Magnuson	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	Connector / Python	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	1.2.1rc1	OS:	Any
Assigned to:	Peeyush Gupta	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Running any tests (i.e. `./manage.py test`) in Django 1.7 using the MySQL/Python Connector 1.2.1rc1 will fail, since the test database setting format used by the connector Django module has been deprecated in Django 1.7. For more info, see: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/settings/#test

The attached diff is a fix for this that I've been using myself to fix the failing tests, would be really nice if it could be incorporated in the main branch.

How to repeat:
1. Install the latest build of Django 1.7 (b4 at the time of writing this)
2. Install the latest version of the connector (1.2.1rc1 at the time of writing this)
3. Configure a MySQL database in `settings.py`
4. Run `./manage.py test`

Thanks for your bug report and patch!

Note that Django v1.7 is still in dev/beta. We can't add support it just yet, but we keep an eye on it.

Noted in 1.2.3 changelog.

Connector/Python is now compatible with Django 1.7.
