Error loading MySQLdb

Question

I have been trying to configure django with MySQL Database.But after changing the settings file to the following

DATABASES = {
'default': {
    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 
    'NAME': 'test',
    'USER': 'root',
    'PASSWORD': '',
    'HOST': 'localhost',   # Or an IP Address that your DB is hosted on
    'PORT': '8080',
}

}

when in run the python manage.py syncdb it shows the the following errors.Any help will be deeply appreciated.

    raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading MySQLdb module: %s" % e) django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No mdule named 'release'

Try running

easy_install MySQL-python

or if you have pip installed

pip install MySQL-python

If neither of those work, can you show us the entire traceback?
