title: How can I use Conda to install MySQLdb?
body: <p>I've read several different explanation regarding how to install MySQLdb, but I'm not sure which case applies to me since my error message is different.  My system can't seem to find MySQLdb. I installed pymysql, but i need to import MySQLdb to use procedures from that library.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help.</p>
