i am builing website on dreamhost. but found some version of python,django,mysqldb need to be bounded together. real life experience.

+1  A: 

Dreamhost does not officially support Django. However, Python version 2.4 and whatever version of mySQL Dreamhost uses will have to do. As for which version of Django, that doesn't really matter, so long as it can be supported by Python 2.4 or lower.

Here (besides the Dreamhost wiki) is really the best resource I've ever been able to find on installing Django with Dreamhost.

You will need mysqldb 1.2.1p2 or higher. The p2 is important and I've seen posts on the net about people using 1.2.2 and still having issues, so your best bet would probably be to try 1.2.1p2 first.
