Using mysql in conjuntion with Sage?
Hello,
I'm using Ubuntu (new to it), and am really excited about Sage. I can't afford Matlab. I would like to interface Sage/Python with MySql. I've already installed MySql according to this link.
I tried the command import MySQLdb, but it didn't work. The output from my terminal is pasted below.

I believe I have the same problem as discussed here
However, I'm so new to Ubuntu, that I don't quite follow. I followed the instructions and ran
import sys
for path in sys.path:
print path
I then received the output pasted below.

Can anyone help? My basic dilemma is how to ...
