fail to import dictionary to MySql on CentOS 5.5

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using Centos 5.5 and type the following command to import password but no 
success
pyrit -u mysql://root:root@127.0.0.1/pyrit -i pass.txt import_passwords
Does it only work on Ubuntu? Any1 can import in CentOS 5.5 mysql?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Connecting to storage at 'mysql://127.0.0.1/pyrit'...  Traceback (most recent

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Centos5.5

Please provide any additional information below.

Only work on ubuntu for using MySQLdb to import dictionary to db?

Is there a performance benefit to use MySQL or sqlite over just the standard 
file:///?

Using a SQL-database instead of the filesystem will give you some benefits:
    Real ACID-compliance, backup- and load-balancing-features.
    Multiple Pyrit-clients can operate on the same database at the same time over the network.
    Meta- and binary-data are (possibly) stored independent of each other, making the database easier to query and operate on.

How about size? I think pyrit compress the data when your using the file:/// 
option or default storage in the blobspace.

As the error message says: you need the bindings for mysql<->python installed. 
see CentOS' package-repository.
