[Tutor] Problem installing MySQLdb under windows

[Peter Jessop]

I am running Python 2.4.3, MySQL 5.0.
On trying to install MySQLdb 1.2.1 I ran into the following problem.
"
D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\MySQLdb>setup.py build
running build
running build_py
copying MySQLdb\release.py -> build\lib.win32-2.4\MySQLdb
running build_ext
error: The .NET Framework SDK needs to be installed before building
extensions f
or Python.

"
Is it really necessary to install The .NET Framework SDK (354Mb) or is there
a simpler way?

Thanks for any help
