Using Jython with Django

Question

How can I setup my django application to connect to mysql when using Jython?

SETTINGS.py

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': ''django.db.backends.mysql', # should this be: com.ziclix.python.sql?
    }
}

According to the Django docs and django-jython docs, you can install django-jython, and then use 'doj.backends.zxjdbc.mysql' as database backend.

Also, remember to add the JDBC driver to your classpath:

jython -J-classpath path/to/driver.jar manage.py runserver

or

export CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/path/to/driver.jar"

It worked as soon as I added the class path. jython -J-classpath path/to/mysql-connector-java-5.1.22-bin.jar manage.py runserver can you add that line and I'll take your answer.
