Glad you didn't stay up too late this time.
Sounds like you don't have the database adapter installed. Did you
install one of: a) MySQLdb, b) psycopg, c) kinterbasdb or d) pymssql?
These are the modules that provide the connectivity from Python to
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird and MS SQL, respectively.
Assuming you're following the screencast, which uses the MySQL
sample data, you'd need to install MySQLdb. Try this from cmd.exe:
run 'python', and then from the Python prompt, type 'import MySQLdb'.
Did it complain?
