MySQLdb library issue on cpanel based shared hosting

I am trying to run python script and wish to connect python to the mysql on my cpanel based shard hosting. When i type the following in test.py inside cgi-bin folder:

#!/usr/bin/python
print 
import MySQLdb

I get an import error. This, to what i assume, that the MySQLdb library is not installed on the hosting server. What is the solution to this issue? How do i manually install this library? Can i externally link to this library?

honestly you will need MySQLdb for any python mysql code. Better consult with your web host.

If you can access to site-packages directory ~/lib/python2.7/site-packages, then build/install will work

Check if mysqldb installed or not using 

#!/usr/bin/python

module_name = 'MySQLdb'

try:
    __import__(module_name)
    print 'installed'
except ImportError:
    print 'not installed'
