Beware, but it looks like you have a typo. I'd suggest making sure you 
type the module name with the correct case (Python is case sensitive you 
know). From an interactive session on my machine;

"""
PythonWin 2.3 (#46, Jul 29 2003, 18:54:32) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)]

 >>> import Mysqldb
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named Mysqldb
 >>> import MySQLdb
 >>> db=MySQLdb.connect()
"""
