problema django y mysql

[j0nathan]

Buenos días.

Estoy siguiendo el tutorial de maestros del web sobre django
tengo instalado xampp 1.7.4 con el servicio de mysql instalado

ya instale python 2.7.3 y django 1.4.2

configure el archivo settings.py de la siguiente manera

Código:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': 'test',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': 'root',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': 'pass',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': 'localhost',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '3306',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
    }
}

pero cuando ejecuto el comando python manage.py syncdb me genera el siguiente error:

Código:

Traceback (most recent call last):
