title: How to install MySQLdb with python 3.2
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to mySQL with python. From what I understand you need to have MySQLdb which is some python connector module. My first problem was not having the right version of the mySQLdb. It can be found <a href="http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysql-python" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Then I am supposed to open a command line window and navigate to the path of the file I just downloaded (after unzipping) and type<code>python setup.py build</code> This then gave me an error saying that I needed to downloaded setup tools. Setup tools apparently was discontinued after python 2.6 or 7. Now we are supposed to use distribute, which I found <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute#installation-instructions" rel="nofollow">here</a>, as a replacement. I did that and now when I try to make my build call It spits out</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "setup.py", line 13, in &lt;module&gt;
      from setup_windows import get_config
    File "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL-python-1.2.3\setup_windows.py", line 46
      print """You shouldn't be running this directly; it is used by setip.py."""
  
  Syntax Error: invalid syntax
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need someone to hold my hand and walk me through how to get this setup. I've spent 6 hours on google trying to figure it out. (I read in more than one place that it is a difficult install but very worth it. I hope they're right.)</p>
