ImportError: No module named setuptools
I go find setup tools and install this. Next:
File "setup.py", line 15, in
metadata, options = get_config()
File "C:\Software\MySQL-python-1.2.3c1\setup_windows.py", line 7, in get_confi
g
serverKey = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, options['registry_ke
y'])
WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
Gotta love these errors. Completely unintuitive for a relatively tiny and essential package.
The solution???
Give up trying to use the latest release, maybe it's optimised for linux anoraks and use:

This installer will sort out everything

I had to install setuptools as well to get past the first error, then I received the same error you list above. I installed pywin32 build 214 thinking it would solve the issue, but I still get the same error message in the cmd prompt (vista32bit, python 2.6.4). When you say "this installer will sort out everything" are you implying that by simply installing pywin32, mysqldb should install fine, or is there more to it that I'm missing?
