How to access MySQL from python
Question: I've always used Xampp for db/ server purposes. I'm trying to use the same
with my Python project but cannot seem to get it to work.

Error from Python Shell

    
    
    import MySQLdb
    ImportError: No module named 'MySQLdb'
    

I've been all around but nothing seems to work. I'm on windows 7, Python 3.3.

Please someone advise. Links that would resolve this quick will be greatly
appreciated.

**Update:** Please note that it seems MySQL-python does not support python3


Answer: `pip install MySQL-python`

Run this in your Windows console or Linux terminal, and this problem should
disappear.
