I am trying to install mysqldb for python in windows7 and run into that error message

Do you have an idea how I can make it work ? I already have pythonsetuptool installed

This is not an answer, but just a hint - I'm using sqlite DB on windows computer (development) and MySQL on servr (production). — Aleksej Vasinov, Jun 10 '12 at 09:02
This is my first program with sqlite3 , does it have a tool like phpmyadmin for me to create and handle tables ? Or any way like a commandline tool for me to do so in console windows prompt — Joe Mo, Jun 10 '12 at 09:08
@AleksejVasinov if the OP is using Django, which is not at all obvious since it hasn't been mentioned at all. — Daniel Roseman, Jun 10 '12 at 09:48

Actually there are many ways and i tried them for few hours and realize its time waste process bcoz MYSQLdb is vary from version to version i.e 2.6,2.7 and 3.2 but all those are confuse and time waste processes, Instead best way is to get precompiled executables from : http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs . here choose version wise links like python 2.7 and 32bit so that you won't get any errors and now run the downloaded file, finally set path in environment variables. Now open python IDLE editor or from command prompt c:>python import MySQLdb

if u don't get any errors then it's working fine...enjoy with u r work
