ImportError: No module named MySQLdb

[anonymous]

When setting up trac I get:

Creating and Initializing Project
Failed to create environment. No module named MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):

But I have installed: mysql-python python-dev libmysqlclient15-dev

Any ideas why the trac setup cannot find the mysqldb module?

See duplicates #3874 and #6241

This is an installation issue and as such should not be filed in as a ticket but posted to the MailingList.
