I am installing a custom app that needs MySQL, which I already had working so I am a bit confused on what's going on.
Anyways here is the error:
Error loading MySQLdb module: this is MySQLdb version (1, 2, 4, 'final', 1),
but _mysql is version (1, 2, 3, 'final', 0
Tried
sudo pip uninstall MySQL-python
then
sudo pip install MySQL-python
which worked...
Successfully installed MySQL-python
still the same error
