mysql database not working on django

Question

DATABASES = {
'default': {
    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
    'NAME': 'djangodb',             
    'USER': 'root',                 
    'PASSWORD': '',                 
    'HOST': '',                    
    'PORT': '',                      
} 
  }

I created a database djangodb now I tried creating tables with this command

./manage.py syncdb

I expected to get

Creating table auth_message
Creating table auth_group
Creating table auth_user
Creating table auth_permission
Creating table django_content_type
Creating table django_session
Creating table django_site
Creating table blog_blogpost

But I get this error:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading  MySqldb module: no module named MySqldb

I have even tried putting up a host 127.0.0.1 .Can anyone figure out what happened.

From the docs:

If you're using MySQL, you'll need the MySQL-python package, version 1.2.1p2 or higher. You will also want to read the database-specific notes for the MySQL backend.
