Installing python mysql database connector for django

Hello,

I'm trying to install the mysql database connector for django 1.4; this is the error I'm getting:

I've tried several tutorials on this; and I've successfully installed mysql drivers for python 2.7, which I verified here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-example-connecting.html

errang$ python
