TypeError: object does not support item assig

[Basetta]

Hi,
i have installed django on my website but i receive always this message.
I think there is a problem with Mysqldb-python.
My installation is Mysql 4.0 and python2.3-mysqldb 1.2.1c2-1.
Could anyone give me any tips ?

ciao

Like I said on the django-users list, it's a problem with your installation. However, you have failed to mention what OS and what packaging you are using. I am going to guess you are using Debian packages.

If you search the forums for your exception, you see it crops up every once in a while, so check these out.

I still don't really know what the root cause is, but it doesn't affect very many people.

Sadly, SourceForge forums are retarded about URLs, so you will have to copy and paste those.
