Connecting to MySQL db via python

Question

I am trying to connect to a mysql db. I have installed the mysqldb package but it still says 'ImportError: No module named 'MySQLdb' when I import.

Why?

I am using ubuntu 13.04, sorry I am new to all this. – terryb Nov 24 '13 at 23:43 — terryb, Nov 24 '13 at 23:43

Difficult to say without more detail! Have a look at these:

There's a pretty comprehensive guide for the installation (on Python 3) of the mysql connector here:

Perhaps thats worth another try. Alternatively I have happily used the mysql.connector which I got from here:

Its written in python so may be slower than the first option, which you may or may not care about.
