This is a fork of MySQLdb1.
This project adds Python 3 support and bug fixes. I hope this fork is merged back to MySQLdb1 like distribute was merged back to setuptools.
You may need to install the Python and MySQL development headers and libraries like so:
sudo apt-get install python-dev libmysqlclient-dev # Debian / Ubuntu
sudo yum install python-devel mysql-devel # Red Hat / CentOS
