 Django requires MySQLdb version 1.2.1p2 or later.
 
-.. note::
-    If you see ``ImportError: cannot import name ImmutableSet`` when trying to
-    use Django, your MySQLdb installation may contain an outdated ``sets.py``
-    file that conflicts with the built-in module of the same name from Python
-    2.4 and later. To fix this, verify that you have installed MySQLdb version
-    1.2.1p2 or newer, then delete the ``sets.py`` file in the MySQLdb
-    directory that was left by an earlier version.
+At the time of writing, the latest release of MySQLdb (1.2.5) doesn't support
+Python 3. In order to use MySQLdb under Python 3, you'll have to install
+``mysqlclient`` instead.
 
 .. note::
     There are known issues with the way MySQLdb converts date strings into
-    datetime objects. Specifically, date strings with value 0000-00-00 are
-    valid for MySQL but will be converted into None by MySQLdb.
-
-    This means you should be careful while using loaddata/dumpdata with rows
-    that may have 0000-00-00 values, as they will be converted to None.
