For the fun of it, I built Python 2.2 for MacOS X on Sourceforge's
compilefarm, it compiled out of the box, but from what I've heard, it
still has some issues.

There's also a prebuilt unixoid Python for MacOS X available here:

    http://tony.lownds.com/macosx/

Personally, I'd just install the development stuff from the MacOS X CD
and recompile Python 2.2 myself. Then install the MacOS X MySQL
binaries, then compile and install MySQLdb.

You could also give my compilation a try, I'put it on my homepage:
http://www.cs.fhm.edu/~ifw00065/

But I've no idea if it will work on your machine. Of course, I also
cannot support this in any way, as I don't even have a Mac.
