GoogleAppEngine error: rdbms_mysqldb.py:74

Question

Trying to do HelloWorld on GoogleAppEngine, but getting the following error.

C:\LearningGoogleAppEngine\HelloWorld>dev_appserver.py helloworld WARNING 2012-07-17 10:21:37,250 rdbms_mysqldb.py:74] The rdbms API is not available because the MySQLdb library could not be loaded. Traceback (most recent call last):

I've found posts on GoogleCode, StackO regarding this issue. But no matter what I try, I still can't overcome this error.
Python version installed on Windows 7 machine is: 2.7.3
GAE Launcher splash screen displays the following:
Release 1.7.0
Api versions: ['1']
Python: 2.5.2
wxPython : 2.8.8.1(msw-unicode)

Can someone help?

Answer 1

it's been a while, but I believe I've previously fixed this by adding import rdbms to dev_appserver.py

hmm.. or was that import MySQLdb? (more likely)
