How to run createsuperuser from PyDev Django shell

I can't figure out how to do python manage.py createsuperuser in my PyDev Django shell.

I was hoping something below would work, but nothing did. I've never really used these shells before, and hope there's a way to create this superuser with a shell.

import manage
python manage.py createsuperuser
  File "<ipython-input-15-fcfe38f02d6e>", line 1
    python manage.py createsuperuser
                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I tried doing it with the Windows cmd, which led to this error:

C:\Users\Rasmus\workspace\Crowd\src>python manage.py createsuperuser
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\django\db\backends\mysql\base.py", line 25, in <module>
    import MySQLdb as Database
ImportError: No module named 'MySQLdb'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading MySQLdb module: %s" % e)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named 'MySQLdb'

Which I find weird seeing as my Django is connected to my database and that I can store and retrieve objects from the database within PyDev.

Are there other ways to createsuperuser than using shell or cmd? Like doing it with a method?

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "myapp.settings")
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
execute_from_command_line(["manage.py","createsuperuser"])

Based on the error information "loading MySQLdb module: No module named 'MySQLdb'", you need to install MySQL-python
