If the program mysql_config is installed on your box, it may be installed in a directory that is not on your path. If you can find it on your box (try the locate and find commands), you can add the directory to your PATH by hand before running pip (or easy_install). It only needs to be there for the runnings of pip that instiall or update MySQL-python so you don't need to add the directory permanently. (An alternative is a symbolic link to it in some directory that is on your path, such as maybe /usr/local/bin - though this is slightly less certain to work, depending on how clever mysql_config is - I don't use MySQL, so I don't know for sure.)
