I have installed MySQLdb for Python and I am able to import MySQLdb. Now I try to connect to the MySQL Community Server on my local machine, using this code:

db=MySQLdb.connect(
    host="localhost",
    user="br_admin",
    passwd="blabla",
    db="br_brain"
)

This code fails with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#22>", line 5, in <module>
  db="brainse_brain"
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\__init__.py", line 81, in Connect
return Connection(*args, **kwargs)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\connections.py", line 187, in __init__
super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs2)
OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)")

How do I resolve this error?
