Is this perhaps because of lack of python3 support in general? (I don't use django myself, so I have no easy way to check.)

No, both Django and Connector / Python work just fine with Python 3. I can use Connector / Python 2.2.11 and everything works as expected. The issue I believe is more a lack of support for Django 3.x. The `mysql.connector.django` backend needs updating by the looks of it. Would be nice to see this done as soon as possible as it is holding other things back.

That should say Django 2.2.11 works just fine with Connector / Python and Python 3. Upgrading Django to 3.x causes the connector to error.

I added a PR with a fix for this, https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-python/pull/62 Please review when possible. I'm hoping that it would get released before the project i'm currently working on go live :)

This is not resolved. with Django 3.0.8 and Connector / Python 8.0.21, I still get the following error: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 'mysql.connector.django' isn't an available database backend. Try using 'django.db.backends.XXX', where XXX is one of: 'mysql', 'oracle', 'postgresql', 'sqlite3' I am updating this to Critical as there is no workaround other than to stay on Django 2.2.11, which is not realistic. Is there any update on this? May be connected to: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=99069
