Hi Eric, I am not sure that the problem you experienced is related to Windows 7 (am on XP) - but if you could use the MySQLdb module for Python 2.4, i'd suspect that you probably got the wrong module? There is one specifically for Python 2.5 on the Sourceforge download page. Also, maybe check that you chose the correct version (64-bit or 32-bit) depending on your installed Python version.
Is your Windows installation 32 or 64 bit? What version of Python, MySQL and Django are you using?
