Failed to load application: No module named MySQLdb

Este error puede ser común y aunque yo lo describo para el empleo del honeypot kippo, la solución me imagino que será aplicable a cualquier caso. Si estáis trabajando con kippo y al arrancarlo os suelta el siguiente error,

shell> ./start.sh
Starting kippo in background...Removing stale pidfile /home/javier/kippo-0.5/kippo.pid

Lo que os falta es la librería de acceso a MySQL desde python. Por lo tanto la solución,

shell> apt-get install python-mysqldb

Con lo que kippo arrancará perfectamente.

shell> ./start.sh
