Thanks for your suggestions.
Like I said, it's likely an architecture issue. If you have a 32-bit
MySQL install and are using a 64-bit Python, it won't be able to load
the client libraries. The Python install included in Lion is universal
(a single file containing both 32-bit and 64-bit executables) so if
it's loaded by a 32-bit program, it will load in 32-bit mode.
Actually, the issue is only whether you have 64-bit MySQL client
libraries for C to which MySQLdb can link. Those are called
"MySQL Connector/C", and here are the download pages for them.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/c/
The actual database can (and usually should be) the 64-bit executable,
while the libraries can be 32 or 64 bit. They communicate over a socket,
and don't even need to be on the same machine.
Unfortunately, the whole MySQLdb/Python/Connector/C versioning
setup is a mess. See:
