    import MySQLdb
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
    (version_info, _mysql.version_info))
    ImportError: this is MySQLdb version (1, 2, 5, 'final', 1), but _mysql is version (1, 4, 6, 'final', 0)


    I Googled this a lot, and saw many people with the same problem,
    but couldn't find an answer that helped.


    Thanks!

    It seems these versions must match, but do not match, so the
    first idea would be to uninstall the libraries and then install
    them again explicitly specifying the same version (like "1.2.5")
    for all of them. But I'm not an expert here, and doing this
    might break even more or might not work due to the deprecation of
    Python 2.7, so please proceed with caution and at your own risk.
