Hello there,

I am using Python 2.6.2 on OS X 10.6 ( Snow Leopard ).

Downloaded Django 1.1.1 and installed it by issuing:

sudo python setup.py install 

Which placed Django-1.1.1-py2.6.egg-info and django dir inside the 
site-packages directory:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages

I went inside the django/bin directory and issued a chmod +x to django-admin.py 
and also
created a symbolic link for django-admin to my system path by doing this:

ln -ls 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py
 /usr/local/bin

Now, I am able to run django-admin startproject my_project_name anywhere from 
the BASH shell...

My problem, however, is that I can't seem to figure out how to install the 
MySQLdb package for Python / Django?

Downloaded the tar.gz from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/

Unextracted it and can't seem to find a setup.py anywhere? 

Here's the full contents of the extracted zip file:

CHANGES.txt             
README.txt              
CREDITS.txt             
VERSION.txt             
help
db.py
DA.py                   
__init__.py             
icons
DABase.py               
browse.dtml             
joinTM.py
DEPENDENCIES.txt        
connectionAdd.dtml      
table_info.dtml
NEWS.txt                
connectionEdit.dtml

Would apprecitiate it if someone could point me in the right direction... 

Really am excited to learn Django...

Do I need to change any other settings before installing this Python MySQL 
driver?

Happy programming,

James
