Solved Error in Ubuntu while instaling mysqlclient

sudo apt-get install python3-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev build-essential

# or

# pkg-config: not found is a major hint at the problem and the solution - 
# you're missing build # tools and you need to install them.

apt-get install pkg-config build-essential libmysqlclient-dev

2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

Use "127.0.0.1", instead of "localhost"

The contrib packages

The contrib packages are a part of Django that contain some very useful applications that the Django developers decided should be shipped with Django.

The included applications provide an impressive set of features, including some that we'll be using in this application:

  • Admin is a full featured CMS that can be used to manage the content of a Django site. The Admin application is an important reason for the popularity of Django. We'll use this to provide an interface for site administrators to moderate and manage the data in our application.

  • Auth provides user registration and authentication without requiring us to do any work. We'll be using this module to allow users to sign up, sign in, and manage their profiles in our application.

Django comes with a couple of contrib packages that speed up our work considerably.

Note

There are a lot more goodies in the contrib module. I suggest you take a look at the complete list at docs.djangoproject.com.

I usually end up using at least three of the contrib packages in all my Django projects. They provide often-required features like user registration and management, and free you to work on the core parts of your project, providing a solid foundation to build upon.
