Did you install MySQLdb? which is a system library. A quick search on google shows a couple sites you can download this from

One of which is (link pulled from here), another post that addresses this:

We would need to see your settings.py file to do more in depth review.

On the surface, it seems like you have not linked it to a database in the settings file. Here is a link that will help you get it installed:

http://decoding.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/how-to-setup-django-and-mysql-python-on-mac-os-x-lion/

(At least on a MAC/Unix. Windows is a different story)

After that, I would just follow any guide on linking the two.
