This is related to a previous question.
However, the main posted solution there is not working for me. I'm on Snow Leopard, using the 32-bit 5.1.49 MySQL dmg install. I'm using the built in python (apparently, as noted in the comments, my Python version is different), which appears to be 2.6.5 32-bit:
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79359, Mar 24 2010, 01:32:55) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.maxint 2147483647
I've downloaded MySQL-python 1.2.3 from the usual location and changed site.cfg so that mysql_config points to the right place and the registry_key directive is commented out. The packages seems to build and install just fine:

But when I try to use it, I get this:

All I can find on the web are older examples of this problem, along with numerous rants about how hard it is to get MySQL-python working on OSX. If anyone can help with this, I would greatly appreciate it!!
