So I installed Bitnami Django stack, hoping as proclaimed ‘ready-to-run’ versions of python and mysql. However, I can’t get python to syncdb: “Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb”
I thought the Bitnami package would already install everything necessary in Windows to make mysql and Python work together? Is this not true?
I don’t want to have to deal with installing mysql-python components as that can be frustrating to get working alone as I have tried before.
You’ll need to install MySQL for python as Django needs this to do the connecting, once you have the package installed you shouldn’t need to configure it though as Django just needs to import from it.
Edit: from your comments there is a setuptools bundled but it has been replaced by the package distribute, install this python package and you should have access to easy_install which makes it really easy to get new packages. Assuming you’ve added PYTHONPATH/scripts to your environment variables, you can call easy_install mysql_python
