Problem running syncdb in django

I am trying to go through the django docs tutorial and having a problem syncing mysql. On the command python manage.py syncdb I get the following error (note I'm running in windows 7):

...
File "C:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\db\backends\mysql\base.py", line 14, in <module>
raise Improperlyconfigured("Error loading Mysqldb module: %s" % e) 
django.core.excepions.Improperlyconfigured: Error loading Mysqldb module: No module named mySQLdb

I have initialized the db in setting.py as:

'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 
'NAME': 'mysite',    #the name I gave in Mysql with 'CREATE DATABASE mysite;'                 
'USER': 'root',                      
'P开发者_如何学编程ASSWORD': 'mypassword',   # as set in MysqlInstanceConfig
'HOST': '',                     
'PORT': '',  

So how do I get syncdb to run correctly? What does the missing module error mean and how do I correct it?

You need to install the python mysql library. Here is a django-related guide to do this on windows

You have to install the mySQLdb module.

You most probably haven't installed the Python module that handles the mysql connections. You can install it through the Cheeseshop with pip or easy_install and it's called MySQL-python.
