I fired it up earlier today after not having tried Django for a while and was disappointed to see it's still pretty annoying to get MySQL working with Python 3 via Django. After installing a non-standard build of MySQL for Python ( <a href="https://github.com/davispuh/MySQL-for-Python-3" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/davispuh/MySQL-for-Python-3</a> ) django/db/backends/mysql/base.py needs to be patched to be made compatible with Python 3 (only about three lines of code need to be changed). Unfortunately, no official documentation seems to exist on this and it took me about an hour of scanning various forums to figure it out. The Python 3 support appears to work flawlessly once you iron out the kinks and I'm looking forward to seeing Django continue to improve!
I'm really excited to see them focusing on security issues, which is the main reason I used Django over a DIY framework. The faster release cycle is also good to hear about!
