Import error depending on where importing from

I'm having problems importing a module based on where I'm at
For certain reasons, I had to put the MySQLdb files in my own directory
(called 'lib'). Now, when I'm in the lib directory I can import MySQLdb
and use it fine. However, when I'm one directory up, and I try to do
"from lib import MySQLdb" I get
>>> from lib import MySQLdb
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "MySQLdb.py", line 19, in ?
ImportError: _mysql: init failed
There is an empty __ini__.py file in lib and _mysql.so is in lib as well
This is on Python 1.5.2
Any idea why the init fails?
Take care,
