I had the same situation as my server is CentOS 5.2. Django needed
MySQL-python 1.2.2. I tried Yum but the default repo gave me version
1.2.1.

You can find version 1.2.2 at SourceForge, but to install it you need
to have MySQL development tools installed on your server. The package
is called "mysql-devel". I am using a VPS and my provider restricted
access to this, I had to ask them to install this package for me.

Once I had mysql-devel, I used EasyInstall to install mysql-python. No
problem at all. I presume that today you would use pip instead of
EasyInstall.

I hope this helps.
