title: Install mysql-python (Windows)
body: <p>I've spent hours trying to make Django work on my computer. The problem is that I can't install the mysql-python package. I'm running Windows 7 64bit. This is what I've tried:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I have downloaded easy_install</li>
  <li>I have downloaded Cygwin64 to be able to run Linux commands (Win cmd was driving me crazy)</li>
  <li>I have typed in: easy_install mysql-python (gave me an error message saying it can't find vcvarsall.bat)</li>
  <li>I have downloaded Visual Studio 2010. However, I uninstalled it since I found out that I had some other version of it already (it didn't solve the problem)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have googled this problem like a thousand times, so I would be very grateful if someone could help me. Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I discovered this: <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/1.2.5" rel="noreferrer">https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/1.2.5</a>. Does this mean I can't run Django with python 3.3? And why bother to go through all this work if there is an .exe-file out there?</p>
