I am trying to install MySQLdb for Python 2.6 as per these instructions:

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_database_access.htm

When I get to this step: $ python setup.py build I get the error:

users-MacBook-Pro:MySQL-python-1.2.3 user$ sudo python setup.py build sh: mysql_config: command not found Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 15, in <module> metadata, options = get_config() File "/my_crawler/MySQL-python-1.2.3/setup_posix.py", line 43, in get_config libs = mysql_config("libs_r") File "/my_crawler/MySQL-python-1.2.3/setup_posix.py", line 24, in mysql_config raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,)) EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

I have MySQL installed and added to my bash

What am I doing wrong?
