Q:

Error on import MySQLdb

i am using python 2.7.2 (windows 7) and i cant import MySQLdb, error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
import MySQLdb
File "C:\Python27\lib\MySQLdb\__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
import _mysql
ImportError: No module named _mysql

A:

There is now a Windows MSI installer on SourceForge, which eliminates the build step, which requires MS Visual Studio 2008 among other things.
