MySQLdb-python how to install on MacOsX

[adtroy]

Steve,

I had the same problem, the only thing I found that worked was using
the MySQL-python installer
(http://pythonmac.org/packages/MySQL_python-1.2.0-py2.4-macosx10.3.zip)
 found at the site below.  It says it is for 10.3 but I have had no
problems using it on 10.4.  Hope that helps.
