import MySQLdb error with python 2.5 and IDLE

[mdb]

I installed python 2.5 and used the win package for installing MySQLdb
Everything works as expected using python directly (Windows command shell)
but using IDLE gives the import error below.

It seems that when using IDLE the _mysql package can not be found although the path is the same as non-IDLE
python and help('modules') shows _mysql is an available.
Everything works using python 2.4 (with IDLE and without mySQLdb is loaded with out error).

below is the IDLE screen capture

The Windows packages for MySQLdb with Python 2.5 don't exist yet, or at least, I do not have any available for download.

I found a Python 2.5 package for 1.2.2b2 using Google at http://blog.zabiello.com/files/MySQL-python.exe-1.2.2b2.win32-py2.5.exe and for me it works fine.

There is now a Python egg for Win32 in the downloads section as of a few minutes ago.
