Good luck with installing MySQL-python. You'll probably see an error at some point that the Module MySQLdb is missing if you use MySQL and don't install it. Last time, with Snow Leapord, I had to install "Mac Ports" to get it working.
If you don't want to use the complexity of the virtual environment, just run "sudo easy_install django" or "sudo pip install django" from your terminal. This will install Django system-wide. Of course a virtual environment seems to be a good idea by consensus and Tom's instructions include a specific Django version which is the latest stable available.
