Activestate python and MySQLdb

Question

Hi,

I have installed activestatepython and am trying to import MySQLdb

import mySQLdb

gives me an error stating "No module called MySQLdb"

I have tried searching but all the resources out there explain how to set up the mySQLdb for unix, not for windows, can you please tell me how I can do that with Activestate python? I am also planning to use pyDev (eclipse) from now on, how do I configure MySQLdb in both cases?

Thanks
