title: ImportError: No module named MySQLdb even when Mysqldb is installed
body: <p>So I have Mysql installed on my Linux. After that I installed mysqldb using the command sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb. Then when I try to import it in python I get the error "ImportError: No module named MySQLdb". I even rebooted and all. I am running python 2.7. Is there something else that I need to do before getting this to work? Any suggestion? Thanks in advance !!</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import MySQLdb
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  ImportError: No module named MySQLdb
