Django errors in migrating models to existing MySQL DB

BACKGROUND:

I'm trying to build a database that supports many-to-many relationships using Django and an existing MySQL database as a next-step after going through the Django "polls" tutorial.

I'm running a virtual environment containing Python 3.4, Django 1.9.2, mysql-connector-python 2.1.3.

I'm connecting to a MySQL DB running on MAMP via 'ENGINE': 'mysql.connector.django' in the project settings.py

The settings in my project should be correct as I had no problem using inspect db to extract models from the existing MySQL database.

THE PROBLEM:

After looking over and editing the models inspectdb created, I wanted to migrate them to the DB. I copied the models to the app's models.py and ran the migrate command. Unfortunately, it's now throwing errors, and being new to django, I'm not quite certain where the problem is happening. I'm seeing:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

(end error excerpt)

WHAT I THINK IS HAPPENING

Reading that error message, I'm looking at one of two things as culprits: contenttypes or the mysql connector settings ('ENGINE': 'mysql.connector.django',).

I've found the django documentation for ContentTypes models, but what's on the page doesn't seem to help diagnosing my problem.

I'm curious if it's the connector and, if so, why since inspectdb had no problems extracting models.

Can anyone give me some insight on what's happening?

Thanks!
