Requirements to use PyLucid
You need some minimalistic requirements to use PyLucid:
- a way to put files on your Webspace: (s)FTP, SSH or something like that.
- one database engine : MySQL, SQLite3, Postgre, Oracle and MS-SQL
- one "free" Domain: PyLucid/Django can't work in a sub directory. It must exists in the root folder. You can use a sub-domain, too.
MySQLdb Version
If you use MySQL, you need the Python MySQLdb module v1.2.1p2 or newer. There were significant, production-related bugs in earlier versions.
If you have only a old MySQLdb Version: You can use the database backend "mysql_old" if upgrading the MySQLdb module is not immediately possible. However, this backend is deprecated, and we will not continue developing it. Please note: With the old version you will probably get encoding problems :(
Please read Enforcing MySQLdb version.
