Problem installing askbot (on mysql)

edit

I have installed askbot from pip today, then I successfully created an app and invoked python manage.py syncdb, but when I invoked python manage.py migrate askbot, the process has stopped with the following error:

 (...)
 > askbot:0101_megadeath_of_q_a_c
 !!! askbot.askbot_thread is InnoDB - using workarounds !!!
 You are free now to remove content types for Question/Answer/Comment models
 ! Error found during real run of migration! Aborting.

 ! Since you have a database that does not support running
 ! schema-altering statements in transactions, we have had
 ! to leave it in an interim state between migrations.

! You *might* be able to recover with:   = CREATE TABLE `comment` (`comment` varchar(2048) NOT NULL, `offensive_flag_count` integer NOT NULL, `object_id` inte
ger UNSIGNED NOT NULL, `content_type_id` integer NOT NULL, `user_id` integer NOT NULL, `score` integer NOT NULL, `html` varchar(2048) NOT NULL, `added_at` dat
etime NOT NULL, `id` integer AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY); []
   = CREATE TABLE `answer` (`wiki` bool NOT NULL, `vote_up_count` integer NOT NULL, `text` longtext NULL, `offensive_flag_count` smallint NOT NULL, `summary` varchar(180) NOT NULL, `id` integer AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, `locked_at` datetime NULL, `author_id` integer NOT NULL, `question_id` integer NOT NU

   = ALTER TABLE `askbot_thread` ADD COLUMN `accepted_answer_post_id` integer NULL; []
   - no dry run output for alter_column() due to dynamic DDL, sorry
   - no dry run output for delete_foreign_key() due to dynamic DDL, sorry
   = ALTER TABLE `askbot_thread` DROP COLUMN `accepted_answer_id` CASCADE; []

 ! The South developers regret this has happened, and would
 ! like to gently persuade you to consider a slightly
 ! easier-to-deal-with DBMS (one that supports DDL transactions)
 ! NOTE: The error which caused the migration to fail is further up.
