Description

Hi,

Following to instructions, simple installing this package, or letting zappa install it does not seem to give me mysqldb within my lambda function. I get

[1489527885652] ImportError: No module named MySQLdb

Am i missing something here? I also checked the package zip and it's not in there either. I am running mac though, do i need to run package on an aws machine?
