[Pythonmac-SIG] Install MySQLdb module on mac os x

[Jonathan Wight]

I just ran across this one myself. (Trying to get pyexpat running on a
default 10.2.3).

Has anyone filed a bug with radar for the i386 target in the Makefile
problem?

(While I'm at it I'd like to to get pyexpat and readline into the official
Darwin python build.)
