Mysql-python not installed with bitnami django stack? "Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb"
So I got this error after installing Bitnami Django stack on Windows Vista.  Turns out that I had all components installed, but easy_install mysql_python didn't unwrap the entire package...  ?
I inst... uninst... inst... uninst multiple times, but no combination (using mysql for the startup Project) made any difference.
In the end, I simply renamed the egg file (in this case MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-win32.egg) file to .zip and extracted the missing parts into a directory on my PYTHONPATH and everything worked like a charm.
So I installed Bitnami Django stack, hoping as proclaimed 'ready-to-run' versions of python and mysql. However, I can't get python to syncdb: "Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb"
I thought the Bitnami package would already install everything necessary in Windows to make mysql and Python work together? Is this not true? 
I don't want to have to deal with installing mysql-python components as that can be frustrating to get working alone as I have tried before.
