Install mysql-python (Windows)

I've spent hours trying to make Django work on my computer. The problem is that I can't install the mysql-python package. I'm running Windows 7 64bit. This is what I've tried:

  1. I have downloaded easy_install
  2. I have downloaded Cygwin64 to be able to run Linux commands (Win cmd was driving me crazy)
  3. I have typed in: easy_install mysql-python (gave me an error message saying it can't find vcvarsall.bat)
  4. I have downloaded Visual Studio 2010. However, I uninstalled it since I found out that I had some other version of it already (it didn't solve the problem)

EDIT: I discovered this: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/1.2.5. Does this mean I can't run Django with python 3.3? And why bother to go through all this work if there is an .exe-file out there?
