install python Mysql module

Question

I've just installed python 2.6 on my win7 machine. Now I tried to install mysqldb. But when run "python setup.py install"

 C:\MySQL-python-1.2.3c1>python setup.py install
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "setup.py", line 15, in <module>
     metadata, options = get_config()
   File "C:\MySQL-python-1.2.3c1\setup_windows.py", line 7, in get_config
     serverKey = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
     options['registry_key'])
 WindowsError: [Error 2] Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden
 (System cannot find the given file)

But which file? Thanks for your help!

Are you running from an Administrator Mode command prompt? Also, do you have the MySQL headers available for the compiler to link against?

If you are just an end-user, you will probably find it easier to use a pre-built MySQLdb binary, as compiling in Windows is a pain. Unfortunately the official site still hasn't built against 2.6 yet, but you can download other people's builds. See this question for some links.
