If you're having trouble getting it installed the new version of mysql-python requires some different instructions, also if you're using 64 or 32 bit versions of python or mysql will make a difference. There's some information here: http://learninglamp.wordpress.com/2010/02/21/mysqldb-python-mysql-and-os-x-a-match-made-in-satans-bum/

port install py-mysql +mysql5

Turadg – brilliant!
your egg installed perfectly – just needed to do one extra step:
libmysqlclient_r.16.dylib is required in /usr/local/mysql/lib/
I had a slightly older version of MySQL (r.15) – downloaded latest MySQL tar (5.1) – works perfect.

Thanks very much for making this a truly easy install.

I hit the same warnings as Blogimus, on an 32-bit Intel Mac, but I went ahead and installed and everything worked okay.

I’ve written up my experience here,
http://openeducationresearch.blogspot.com/2008/12/mysql-with-python-on-mac.html

and created a binary egg for easy_install,
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/%7Etaleahma/projects/misc/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg

So you should be able to install this now with this simple command,

easy_install http://www.cs.cmu.edu/%7Etaleahma/projects/misc/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg

Thanks for the fix!
