[Tutor] Need Help in installing MySQLdb-Python

[Victor Binns]

I have Python 2.6.3
 
I went to the following link http://pypi.python.org/pypi/
Found - file (MySQL-python 1.2.3)
 
clicked on file - clicked on (MySQL-python-1.2.3.tar.gz)
 
unzipped the file in a created folder
 
clicked on the file called setup.py
 
following ERROR:
 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\victor\Desktop\mysql-python\MySQL-python-1.2.3\setup.py", line 15, in <module>
    metadata, options = get_config()
  File "C:\Users\victor\Desktop\mysql-python\MySQL-python-1.2.3\setup_windows.py", line 7, in get_config
    serverKey = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, options['registry_key'])
WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
 
I read the READ ME file
 
I do not understand it ...
 
I need some step by step on how to install this.
 
----------------------------------
 
What I am trying to do is create a window in which I input data which is stored and updated on MySQL.
MySQL is on a paid server (Yahoo).
 
any books or documentation or help would be greatly appreciated.
