Installing MySQL Connector/python using PIP v1.5

The latest PIP versions would fail on if the packages it needs to install is not hosted on PyPI. When you try to install the MySQL Connector/python the usually-in-a-do, you get following a message is:

shell> pip install Mysql-connector-python not  find any downloads that satisfy the requirement     Mysql-connector-python  Some externally hosted files were ignored     (use--allow-external Mysql-connector-python to allow). 

I have updated the download URL to include the MD5 checksum, and MySQL Connector/python should now install using PIP using Following command:

--allow-external Mysql-connector-python   Mysql-connector-python

Yes, you had to repeat the Mysql-connector-python name.
