I have been working on an application using django and mysql, am trying now to work on the tutorial from this here
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/contrib/gis/tutorial/
but it failed the moment I ran syncdb with the following error
AttributeError: 'DatabaseOperations' object has no attribute 'geo_db_type'
When I read around, it says that this can be solved if changed the backend to use postGIS. Is there a way to continue using mysql as my backend and yet be able to use geodjango? if not, is it possible to use both in the same project?

Django supports MySQL 5.7 and higher.
MySQL and PostgreSQL work best with Django.
GeoDjango is an included contrib module for Django that turns it into a world-class geographic web framework. GeoDjango strives to make it as simple as possible to create geographic web applications, like location-based services. Its features include: Django model fields for OGC geometries and raster data.
set django.contrib.gis.db.backends.mysql in your settings.DATABASE engine db config.
