title: How to use MySQL with Anaconda's Python IDE
body: <p>I just want to be able to do a simple <code>SELECT * FROM</code> query.</p>
  
  <p>I found a Python <code>MySQLdb</code> Package, but can't get it to install using the Windows installer.  It says,</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Python is not found in the registry</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I then tried briefly to compile it myself but I've debugged about six errors so far during the compile process and have given up.</p>
  
  <p>If you are able to connect to MySQL using <strong>Anaconda</strong>, could you please detail out how you did it? Thanks.</p>
