I'm new to Linux and am trying to set up Python / Django on my machine! I installed Python 3.3 from the source file and it was compiled into /usr/local/bin. Then I created a symbolic link between /usr/bin/python and /usr/local/bin/python3, so that whenever I invoke python from the command line it uses the latest version.

Now I am trying to install MySQL Python and I got the following output:

apt-get install python-mysqldb



Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

python-mysqldb is already the newest version.

The following extra packages will be installed:

  apt-listchanges python-apt

Suggested packages:

  python-glade2 python-gtk2 python-apt-dbg python-vte python-apt-doc

The following packages will be upgraded:

  apt-listchanges python-apt

2 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 142 not upgraded.

3 not fully installed or removed.

Need to get 0 B/394 kB of archives.

After this operation, 250 kB of additional disk space will be used.

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges", line 28, in <module>

    import apt_pkg

ImportError: No module named 'apt_pkg'

Any ideas on how to fix this? Or any tips on how to clean up this install (if this one is too broken)?
