Because Python executable on Leopard has been stripped of 64 bit architectures and thus runs as a 32 bit process, the 64 bit problems only come up when trying to use the MySQLdb module under mod_wsgi or mod_python with Apache (presuming you got mod_python to build as 64 bit). If you are really stuck and can't get MySQLdb module to build as 64 bit capable, then you can force Apache to run as a 32 bit process and avoid the problems. For more details, see section 'Thinning The Apache Executable' of: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/InstallationOnMacOSX Also see contributed comments to the page, which explains a way of making Apache run as 32 bit by changing plist files rather than thinning the Apache executable.
