Doing the basic tutorial, MySQL-python problems.

I'm trying to do the "Writing Your first Django App" tutorial, and Django can't see MySQL-python, though it is installed globally.

I'm not sure if this is a virtualenv problem or what.



Outside of virtualenv:

jimmy@lilly ~/mysite $ sudo pip install MySQL-python
[sudo] password for jimmy:
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): MySQL-python in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
