Izantal, Thanks for the help. No, I couldn't import it from the virtualenv shell, so I downloaded MySQLdb, http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/, into my ve directory, and using the virtualenv shell, in the ve directory, I installed it as follows:
(satchmo-tip)malc...@umalc:~/ve$ gunzip MySQL-python-1.2.2.tar.gz (satchmo-tip)malc...@umalc:~/ve$ tar -xvf MySQL-python-1.2.2.tar (satchmo-tip)malc...@umalc:~/ve$ cd MySQL-python-1.2.2 (satchmo-tip)malc...@umalc:~/ve$ python setup.py build (satchmo-tip)malc...@umalc:~/ve$ python setup.py install I can now import it using my virtualenv shell.
