MySQL with Django on Debian
First, install MySQL driver for Python:
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb
Next, modify your config of MySQL: http://dba.stackexchange.com/a/8289
If you’ve already messed up the install, you can either drop/create database from scratch, or apply the following script to every table of your DB:
ALTER TABLE `table` CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
