select data from a database out of my django app

How I can select data from a database that is not inside my django app?

How I should connect my django query to a database that has not been created by my django app?

I have put this code in views.py:

def select(request):
    p = user.objects.filter(country='Iran')
    return HttpResponse(p)

If the database had been created by django app then there was need to add this part into views.py: (for example)

from users.models import user

But here what should I do?

P.S:

I'm using pymysl in my django project and have installed lamp in my linux os, and using phpmyadmin. Any more explanation is needed?
