While writing my path through the list of scripts I need to write, I started using the package MySQLdb. All this worked fine in my terminal by doing a simple pythoncommand line, then import MySQLdb. However, after about 30 minutes, I decided it was better to port this to Eclipse, I start to make stupid mistakes ... Eclipse for some reason cannot see MySQLdb:
Unresolved import: MySQLdb
MySQLdb Found at:
Then I continued to scratch my head and return to the terminal to see if this works ... and low and behold:

I am completely confused as to what I have done. Can someone point out my stupid mistake and any solutions? I have yet to master this whole python / egg installation process. Greetings
