title: Python MySQL database
body: <p>I'm literally stuck!  I have Python version 3.3 and MySQLdb seems to only support Python 2.7 or under and I have no idea what to do.  I'm trying to follow tutorials from www.djangobook.com and they recommend using MySQL but they link to an outdated version of MySQLdb that only supports Python 2.7 or less.</p>
  
  <p>I downloaded MySQL-Connector-Python from here: <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mysql-connector-python" rel="nofollow">https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mysql-connector-python</a><br>
  Then I installed it.  </p>
  
  <p>Then I tried to import MySQLdb.</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\&gt;python
  Python 3.3.3 (v3.3.3:c3896275c0f6, Nov 18 2013, 21:19:30) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AM
  D64)] on win32
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  &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'
  &gt;&gt;&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Basically, I'm trying to get MySQLdb into Python33 and move onto the next part in the tutorial.  So, I have no idea where I can get MySQLdb that works and how I can install it.</p>
