body: <p>This is what I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ easy_install-2.6 -d /home/user/lib/python2.6 MySQLdb  
  Searching for MySQLdb  
  Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/MySQLdb/  
  Couldn't find index page for 'MySQLdb' (maybe misspelled?)  
  Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)  
  Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/
