title: mysql-python won't install on MacOS
body: <p>So I have tried multiple ways to install mysql-python and MYSQLdb. I have tried downloading through this link: <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/</a> and then when I run <code>python setup.py install</code> I get the following errors:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.28.tar.gz
  Traceback (most recent call last):

      raise ImportError
  ImportError
  
  During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  <p>I could not find a resolution that worked so I tried <code>pip install mysql-python</code> and then I get the following </p>
  
  <pre><code>    Traceback (most recent call last):

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I look this problem up I tried running:</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install --upgrade setuptools
  pip install ez_setup
  easy_install -U setuptools
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With no problems, but then when I tried rerunning the command <code>pip install mysql-python</code> I get the same error as before. I tried downloading the mysqlclient and the mysql/python connector and nothing is working. I just want a fix for trying to install mysql-python, mysqlclient, MYSQLdb, mysql/python connector or anything that will actually work. I already have mysql installed and running as well as Sequel Pro.</p>
