There is no South database module 'south.db.mysql' for your database - Django

Django 1.8+

Recently I come across this error, while running my Django application 

python manage.py runserver

There is no South database module 'south.db.mysql' for your database. Please either choose a supported database, check for SOUTH_DATABASE_ADAPTER[S] settings, or remove South from INSTALLED_APPS.

To fix it, you would try to lookup for south.db.mysql or try to search if you SOUTH_DATABASE_ADAPTERS. But you won't find it in your solution. To fix it you have two choices -

1. Manually downgrade to lower Django version i.e.1.6 or so. 

pip install Django==1.6.10

2. Uninstall South from your environment (virtual environment) and move to built-in migration process. 

pip uninstall south

Good luck!
